FreeBSD is actually how I was introduced to learn j00nix-like OS. Something I’ve considered relearning but it just seems too complex for personal use.

If you're looking for a daily driver, might I recommend Pop!_OS? It's privacy oriented and actively developed by System76. I've found it to be a very adopter friendly Linux OS.
I’ve actually tried Pop! Easiest install I’ve ever done. I want to try something else tho.
