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.

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.
