It is really difficult to suggest or even use a BSD myself. The hardware support is years behind Linux; Linux is often a year or behind Windows for new hardware, but much more for more niche things. Linux drivers, at least Intel and AMD graphics drivers, do tend to mature faster than their Windows counterparts in my limited experience.
Then you go into development work where the GNU version of many command line tools have more features than the BSD counterparts. Systemd offers very nice unification of a lot of previous disarrayed scripts. Wayland is the future, wish it was smoother and more unified, but people should not be using Xorg as it just does not handle things that well, such as different refresh rate monitors or screen tearing.
The only orgs that tend to use BSD tend to not want to give back. This harms the community. The GPL was very important for establishing a somewhat sustainable open source ecosystem.
