Since +15 years, I like BSD systems, but I hear more and more persons promoting Linux/KVM platforms. Should I re-invest (I started with Linux before 2000) my time on Linux ecosystem ? Lot of elements must be taken into account to answer such question, but in this blog I'll focus on the performance aspects. More specifically, I'll compare Linux/KVM and FreeBSD/bhyve. And I'll use tests representative for me which are mainly compute and filesystem. The network part is also important, but the machine I will use for such study is not a good one for that. Update February 9th 2025: I have added a comparison between virtio-blk and nvme
