FreeBSD has been on a bit of a glowup arc too though, at least for general desktop use. No, but really, there needs to be a viable third option other than Windows and Linux in the desktop PC space.
I'm so glad that they're clinging on! FreeBSD is great and they've made some serious moves these past years.
NetBSD even explicitly banned AI from their codebase to boot, as quoted from their Commit Guidelines:
Unlike Linux, whose recent embrace of AI in the codebase is worrying to say the least, you flat-out cannot submit AI-generated code to NetBSD unless it's approved in writing*.
