What's the killer app/feature that Linux doesn't have?

It's more Unix-y.
That in itself is a fun reason to use it.

If you want. But you should be sure it supports your computer's firmware.
You'll also completely lose access to Docker containers, unless you run a VM. But Jails will allow you to make bsd containers easily if you want.

Better TCPIP stack than Linux

the more unixy approach, handbook and Jails as the better namespaces are good but it's the actual server os that linux is ridiculed for being. its devs are using Macs and developing freebsd inside virtual machines. it doesn't have native drivers for actual desktop usage but rather a linux compatibility layer. its repo is full of outdated software, even the source repo is.

FreeBSD has both: cuckslave license and Code of Conduct mentioning race, sex, religion etc. Linux has only shit CoC and OpenBSD only has cuckslave license.

I find that since BSDs are true UNIX they're more straightforward, they lack a lot of things that make Linux worthwhile but you can feasibly daily drive it if you decided that Linux isn't worth it anymore for reasons other than compatibility.
If, on the other hand, you already have reservations about Linux's compatibility with software and hardware, you'll only lose out on FreeBSD, although less so than on others like OpenBSD.

Behold, the cuck cursed to post this every time BSD is mentioned, as he is cucked by billion dollar corporations and the government regardless of license

The point of FreeBSD is to use NixBSD
