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:
base systems and packages are completely separate. Packages and their configuration goes in /usr/local/ No where else. (Thought they might write to /var/ )
bsd init, not systemd. Feels more home to me as a late 90s slackware user.
first class zfs support. Linux has caught up lately, especially now that there is a shared zfs codebase for both Linux and FreeBSD. When I switched to FreeBSD on my home server ~10 years ago that wasn’t the case.
Cool. Then many more people would switch from Linux to BSDs instead. Which is better.
Dumb question but what’s a BSD? What’s the difference?
It’s another libre operating system that is not GNU/linux
wjy would it be better
Its more of a niche. You probably won’t have the huge support you have on gnu/Linux nowadays
“gnu/Linux nowadays” is unusable on old hardware (except distros like Alpine) I think?

That research is much easier than figuring out what is computer’s “stack” without using my first language!
Of course only correct selection is TempleOS.
I don’t think its power is comparable to research unix :)
