Thanks for this indepth response. It's made me realise that I'm very much in the linux "smashing together different projects" camp. Probably much more so than other linux users seeing as I prefer to use super minimalist distros like Alpine + my favourite utils, rather thant he standard GNU/Linux.

No problem. Like I said, its easy to think that since they are both unixy-systems and a lot of things "rhyme" that a solution that works for one, works for the other. But that they in fact have different design and development philosophies. And this is even true amongst the BSDs themselves. NetBSD, from boot code to the top of the stack is developed independently from FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Dragonfly, and vice-verse. Now, they will take ideas and re-implement them into their own stack, but they don't necessarily share code directly.
