BSD might be an option. But this post is basically meant to ask the following question:
Windows or Mac, which OS do you dislike less?
For me, it’s Windows. Microsoft is shit, but at least there’s some flexibility in terms of how I can use my system and what hardware I can use it on.
To be honest, if Linux magically disappeared I’d just lean more heavily on using my Android devices.
At least for now, there’s more capacity to have primarily FOSS on Android than on Windows or Mac.
I expect that will change with time and Google wearing away at the systems, but right now you can install a FOSS rom and have the majority of your apps from F-Droid, and the equivalent isn’t possible on x86 devices.
Watching the various Linux for ARM projects with great interest to hopefully take over when Google eventually ruins Android too.

If linux disappeared it would be time for me to learn free BSD, that being said I really want to switch to mobile linux in my phone, lately even android (which is technically linux at it’s core) just feels to locked down
Android is still based on Linux, so depending on how much of a stickler this magic disappearance is, Android might be gone, too.
You are indeed technically correct, sir or madam.
