Interesting! Does that make it perform worse on some modern hardware due to having, say, worse scheduling for CPUs with multiple CCXs or worse graphics drivers?

- _mlbt 2y agoYes FreeBSD does generally benchmark lower than Linux. The BSDs typically prefer correctness and maintainability to aggressive micro optimizations. There’s nothing wrong with either approach, but I can usually follow FreeBSDs code much easier than I can GNU coreutils or the Linux kernel for example. The BSDs also have excellent documentation. Every utility, kernel module, and system configuration file have robust man pages.
