As an everyday user of Linux, should I switch to BSD, why or why not?

There is a very standard pattern or routine which occurs in the *BSD subs, I've noticed. It goes like this.

Bob Newbie enters the sub, and makes a post about wanting to "try BSD." Because Linux has bent over backwards over the last 10-15 years to accomodate people like Bob, (despite the fact that, at least in the minds of some of us, this has largely destroyed Linux as an operating system in the process) Bob naturally assumes that the BSD demographic are going to be willing to do the same.

Bob, however, has a couple of serious problems, where the BSDs are concerned.

a} Bob needs a visually/graphically oriented user interface; it's just how he is neurologically. A small minority of us have the opposite problem; we require a text or character based interface, which means that for us, systems like the BSDs are already what we want. When users like Bob start showing up in large numbers, an assumption develops that a command line interface is automatically something which needs to be erradicated entirely. The CLI is no longer seen as a positive or beneficial thing; it's instead a problem to be solved. This creates a gentrification effect, where those of us who do need a command line interface are no longer able to get it.

b} Bob is probably a very impatient person, who is used to instant gratification, and receiving everything in life that he wants or needs, right now. This means that Bob, putting it bluntly, is a certified moral degenerate, although he himself probably is not consciously aware of that fact. Some of us understand that said expectation of instant gratification is one of the main things that is wrong with contemporary Western society. It is not reflective of ecological reality, and it causes a lot of problems. In comparison with what Bob is used to, farming is a very slow process. You plant at a certain time of the year, you harvest at a certain time, and the process usually can not be hurried without negative or destructive consequences.

c} Bob has most likely been exposed to a corrupt, counterproductive education system, which is purposefully designed to reduce his active intelligence, rather than increasing it. Bob also uses mobile phones, which again have interfaces that have been deliberately designed to induce a sense of helplessness and technophobia. Through no fault necessarily of his own, Bob has therefore been conditioned to be willfully mentally servile, and to want to avoid having to think for himself.

As a result, taking the above three points into consideration, when Bob shows up in one of these subreddits, I or someone else like me immediately recognise Bob as an existential threat to the survival of our operating system, and savagely demand that Bob fuck off back to Windows where we perceive that he belongs. Later on, this will cause me to experience guilt and remorse, and will also earn me downvotes or otherwise present the risk of conflict with social justice warriors, who are determined to ensure that everyone be included, everywhere and always, purely as a matter of principle.

As a result of this, OP; if you happen to comply with any of the three points raised above, then while I am going to attempt to be more civil than usual, I will request that you continue to use Linux or Windows. This is because consumer level operating systems already exist in large numbers; they are, in fact, the most predominant kind at this point. By coming here, and attempting to request that the BSDs continue to be adulterated in order to meet your own needs, you are helping to destroy, in operating system terms, one of the last places of refuge that users like me have left.

If you are willing to change, and become what I consider to be a more desirable type of human being anyway, then use BSD. If you are not, however, and the corporate produced operating systems (which now include Linux) already provide what you need, then use them, and leave us alone.
