Why use Linux when you could use OpenBSD? We've been running OpenBSD routers for quite some time now and their networking is far better, consistent and more robust than in Linux. Just having PF alone is reason enough to use OpenBSD.

Why use Linux? Because Linux has a more stable, scalable, faster and more robust network stack than OpenBSD.
That's quite silly. Considering this brings back the missing features that everyone was missing like a start button and boot to desktop. This puts it on par and better in many ways than Windows 7.
The start button does not doing anything useful. And its still missing the Start Menu, and I very much prefer Aero over the ugly flatness of Windows 8 metro interface.
This is why a mid-range Intel part (Say, an Intel Core i5-4670K) can handily (and significantly) beat AMD's top-of-the-line desktop CPU (An FX-8350)
Really? CPU Benchmarks says
i5-4670K - 7531
AMD FX-8350 - 9091
A comparable Intel chip would have to be closer to i7-3820, not your i5. Perhaps your benchmarks are a little crappy?

Anyway, AMD is far more $$$ efficient for typical desktop. Yes, including any thermal envelope differences.
Finally some facts.

Avast is lightweight... I am ruining it right now on 450mhz pentium 2 with 384mb of ram. Avast is the only free av that didn't slow this machine down.

There has no proof of any kind that PS4 is running FreeBSD or any *nix for that matter. SSYI
All I see are a couple of pictures. It starts with GRUB in one picture, which could suggest that it's Debian kFreeBSD, or maybe GRUB2 loading regular FreeBSD. Then in the next picture, someone's loading libstdc++, suggesting that Sony isn't totally against the GPL, and even then the license version hasn't been established yet.
So basically, the idea that it's based on "modified FreeBSD 9.0" comes from one sentence on a site I've never visited. Might one of the experts here correct me? I've seen only enough kFreeBSD to run back to the real FreeBSD rather quickly, not much longer than that. Thanks!
There's nothing in the linked story that proves that its running FreeBSD. It could just very well be running NetBSD, MINIX, Haiku or a Sony Made OS.
Title is a lie.
Have you tried ArchLinux?
Arch lost its way when it started shipping and System D as the default init and banning users from its forums for disagreeing with that dreadful action.
I was once a Arch user a couple years ago. It was a awesome distro back then but now it has lost the KISS way!
How dare you call Stallman a such a name. You scumbag, you're not even fit to pick the cheese of off Richards feet.
. I won't say all religions because Buddhism is okay, but most.
Buddhists are as much murderers as the rest of them. Its an oppressive religion too.
What sucks is after years of watching Java disappear from the consumer desktop its fucking making a comeback, ARGH! Why is it coming back? Damned Java games like fricking Minecraft that's why. Why oh why did the game designers suddenly decide to start using Java again,is it because of Android? if so the person who came up with Android needs to be shot because this is a fricking nightmare! To give geeks a better understanding imagine if after all these years suddenly IE 6 made a major comeback, wouldn't you want to scream? For the love of God it was almost dead on the desktop!
Troll much?
Java is the best cross platform language in the world. Billions more devices and computer run Java than Windows. Java is making a comeback because it never went anywhere. If I want my application to reach as many people as possible I use Java.
What I find funny is that BSD is finally, after 10 years of ATT/UNIX trademark fearing BS, starting to not only catch up but exceed in technical developments and market growth.
Proof?
I've used it as my main desktop for almost 15 years. Well, ok FreeBSD specifically. I run Linux, and a little windows too. All the servers are BSD.
BSD has ZFS, which is the reason Linux has ZFS, because BTRFS is still vaporware.
Vaporware? I'm using BTRFS as we speak
I like not having to worry about KERNEL from Linux + GNU from third parties to make a whole OS... BSD projects provide the sum of those two IN HOUSE. You get the whole OS from one shop. So all that is left is the packages you want to install like X, Firefox, GIMP, whatever just like any other OS.
Your first point Is a matter of opinion, and I can do the same thing by using Debian, Slackware or Gentoo.
Opera is dead after this move. Ever since the founder of Opera left (forced out) Opera has been a sinking ship.
It was good know you Opera, the web browser that could fit on a floppy in my Windows 98 days.
