There's an old saying: "Linux users use Linux because they hate Windows. BSD users use BSD because they love Unix." Obviously this is not true for every individual user, but I think it describes a trend or pattern.
I've heard "Linux is a PC operating system that's like Unix; BSD is a Unix operating system that runs on PCs."
