A millimeter i.e a thousands of a meter.
edit: I was wrong, confusingly enough it is a thousands of an inch

It’s not necessarily better, some things are a personal preference. Though some might be able to list some technical pros and cons.
Some things I appreciate are:
But there is zfs support in netbsd… https://wiki.netbsd.org/zfs/
After a hiatus in Mac and windows land, I came back into Linux a with similar wishlist.
It’s quite a diversion, but I actually went with FreeBSD. Now it’s not Linux but with the separation of base system and packages, you get a stable base that is released at a pretty fixed consistent schedule.
For packages you can pick from quarterly or weekly update schedule, so you can have a stable base OS with bleeding edge software. The binary package manager is easy to use, but if you want more control you can opt for building from source as well.
The init system is BSD based so all main config goes into a single rc.conf file, very easy to understand and work with.
Most mainstream applications such as Firefox, postgresql, nginx etc are just a pkg install
away and it natively supports zfs (even as root fs) which was one of the reasons I got really interested in it 10 years ago.
Of course, there is software, especially some younger projects that don’t support FreeBSD. So while there are thousands of packages available, some Linux only applications won’t work.
Personally, I would pick FreeBSD any time that the software I require supports it. I only run Linux (settled on pop is for now) if the software I need requires it.
I began with slackware linux late 1990s and have moved to FreeBSD about 10 years ago. Just recently installed Linux again and found pop! os to be quite usable. I think it’s worth to check out.
I used to play games with both inverted X and Y. But lately (last 10-15 years) inverted X was often not an option so I had to force myself to play both axis non-inverted. It took a few months but it feels natural now.
I stand corrected, and I see I didn’t read the comment thoroughly enough either.
Colloquially as a non-pcb maker I would use and hear the term “mill” as short form millimeter so I assumed it was that.
so TIL :)
