- tharne 3y agoAll the major BSDs have relatively clean file systems, at least compared to practically everything else out there.
- lproven 3y agoIt is 100% as complicated and guided by historical principles that are, 50 years later, almost totally arbitrary. I use both. I see no improvement whatsoever in the BSD approach.
- vogon_laureate 3y agoI like that userland is kept separate from base as much as possible, but agree it could be even better. I do think the BSDs have more coherency than Linux on the whole. Would be nice if we could simplify things down even further, but I suspect it just becomes one giant bikeshedding exercise, which is probably why it's easier to just cling on to hier https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?hier https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?hier
