Linux still has lots of fun projects to play with, but most often they are toy projects (such as KISS Linux and their clones) or laser-focused (such as Tiny Core Linux, which also has toy vibes).

The BSDs don't require you to relearn that many things. Most of the userland is similar and I think if you are a poweruser in Linux land you will be up to speed with any BSD in a couple of weeks. The differences surface when you start doing intensive work (such as creating a package for a BSD) or trying to coherce Linux-centric software into running on your BSD of choice.
