There is a lot more different between candy-fied linux and FreeBSD. FreeBSD is a wholly different OS than GNU/Linucks. Oh, and the "OS" is not the desktop. The OS is what sits between the hardware and applications - and there is a lot that goes into it.

True, it does provide a different kernel and much of its own libraries, but its entire guts are different: the scheduler, network stack, memory management, file systems, etc.

It also provides its own "userland," default tools, and features. I attribute ignorance to statements like this, and I hope you one day get a clue.
