What makes BSD stand out as its own system? I’ve been thinking about installing it in a new computer mainly for reading but I don’t know much about it.

    It’s worth messing around with! OpenBSD, too.

      It will certainly deepen my knowledge about operating systems. Messing with alternatives to grub and all that.

        Not sure about the BSDs, but for Linux you don’t actually need GRUB anymore these days. On modern (i.e. UEFI) systems, you can boot the kernel directly as an EFI binary (this is known as EFISTUB booting).
