Not only that, but the BSD variants are incompatible with each other. Not necessarily in glaringly obvious ways, but in subtle ones like differences in filesystem implementation. To the point where if you tried to mount a volume created with one variant on another, you could be setting yourself up for filesystem corruption and data loss, and basically much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Long story short, “distro-hopping” is a thing in the Linux world, don’t try it in the BSD world. >> Yep, he will become extremely put off by /something/ in the BSD's. >> If nothing else, the fact that unless he goes out of his way they >> don't have the GNU CLI toolset and the BSD equivalents have >> different options flags, so the conversion requires some >> relearning. > > Hell, I hit that with the ps command 40 years ago. The procps version of ps <https://manpages.debian.org/ps(1)> (as commonly found in Linux distros) bends over backwards, knots itself into a pretzel, and then attempts some even more topologically-implausible feats, in its attempt to remain as compatible as possible with all the oddball legacy ps-es from before. But even it has to draw the line somewhere.
