Okay but surely people get that BSD and Linux aren’t remotely the same thing, even though both are Unix-like and POSIX compatible, right?
They may be quite different under the hood … but when they both run much of the same open source software and even the same desktop environment, the actual difference that a user sees isn’t all that significant. From the perspective of a non-techie user, Linux and BSD could be practically indistinguishable.
