The same for me.

For 30 years I have been using permanently both FreeBSD and Linux, because they both have strengths and weaknesses.

I am using Linux on laptops and desktops, where I may need support for some hardware devices not supported by FreeBSD or I need software compatibility with certain applications that are not easily ported to FreeBSD.

I also use Linux on some computational servers where I need compatibility with software not available on FreeBSD, e.g. NVIDIA CUDA. (While CUDA is not available for FreeBSD, NVIDIA GPUs are still the right choice for FreeBSD computers when needing a graphic display, because NVIDIA provides drivers for FreeBSD, while AMD does not.)

I use FreeBSD on various servers with networking or storage functions, where I value most to have the highest reliability and the simplest administration.
