DragonFlyBSD 5.0 Released With Initial HAMMER2 Support, Support For 900k+ Processes
Phoronix, Linux Hardware Reviews, Linux hardware benchmarks, Linux server benchmarks, Linux benchmarking, Desktop Linux, Linux performance, Open Source graphics, Linux How To, Ubuntu benchmarks, Ubuntu hardware, Phoronix Test Suite
Off the top of my head (I don't know how much these apply to DragonflyBSD, I know more FreeBSD and derivatives):
-permissive license (closed-source-product friendly)
-better ZFS support/integration
-kernel supposedly better for bigger iron systems (many many cores/CPUs)
-their firewall is better/easier to use
-better sound system, as long as you don't need to do anything fancy or modern.
I don't use other features like jails or whatever, so I don't know.

It's a huge disadvatage.

What a bunch of bullshit! Bsd is non existent on big irons. Linux supports 4096 CPUs on single image and scales crap out of BSD. Oh and even Phoronix benchmarks show Linux destroys BSD on many core machine. Furthermore, Linux has the fastest thread creation on this planet.

Maybe as long as you don't even have a sound card?

It seems you don't know a thing, so I wonder why did you even reply?
It depends from the point of view, so I list it regardless. I'd never use it for my work, but I like permissive licenses in work I can use myself.
What a bunch of bullshit!
That's why I said "supposedly". I've seen claims from decent sources, but I never saw that firsthand.
Maybe as long as you don't even have a sound card?
Oh come the fuck on, isn't "as long as you don't need to do anything fancy or modern" caveat obvious enough? Their sound infrastructure is better than plain ALSA, but is frozen in 90's as far as features go, so you don't have 5.1 audio, bluetooth audio, and more advanced stuff.

Then I guess Netflix, Facebook and whatsapp are stupid to use FreeBSD?
