I've been using FreeBSD for a file server and an ancient laptop and it works really well - except that I haven't got full trackpad functionality nor webcam. I haven't been really trying for a while as they don't much matter on that machine. I like the file server. I have it running on a RPi 3B+ just to see how minimal I can go. I don't use ZFS on either machine as they are so underpowered. UFS seems to work just fine. I've also been using Alpine on a tiny ASUS eeePC 701 because Alpine is tiny and provides a 32bit system. I use it headless essentially like another RPi and it's great for the purposes I put it to. I wouldn't use Alpine on a workstation as you're stuck with BusyBox rather than the full-fat GNU utils but, for a tiny server, a container or IoT type situation, it's great.
