Came along later.

I installed 386BSD 0.1 pretty soon after it was released in mid 1992.

This replaced Interactive Systems 386/ix that I had been using on the same PC since 1987.

"If 386BSD had been available before I created Linux, then Linux might not have been born" - Linus

My impression is that there was also a bit of a culture clash. BSD was the white coat academic world and not very welcoming to outsiders. Linux was the dirty hacker style at a time where online collab became a thing.

And then there was the lawsuit that held back BSD at a crucial time in history.

1988: Sun Roadrunner (368i), SunOS 4.0 (before it got polluted with all that System V crap):
