    lot to love about #netbsd and missing surprisingly little. real annoying things:

    find requires a path. "find ." instead of "find", i'm getting it wrong every time.

    no "sort -h". how do people sort "du -sh" output? are they content with seeing their file is 173666 blocks big?

    anybody knows if patches for these would've been accepted or if they'd be shunned off as gnu-isms?

    * systemd
    * udev
    * sysfs
    * lsblk
    * iproute, NetworkManager

      yep, missing systemd definitely means you're not set out for the bsdworld just yet

              @poni @lkundrak was about to ask, but obviously fd-find officially supports FreeBSD and OpenBSD, but not netbsd.
              From my experience with a certain bsd-like closed source OS I can say, using rust rewrites is a pretty good way to get sane cmdline utilities.

                @hipsterelectron gnu versions are in pkgsrc and i ended up with many unix aliases already, even

                alias make=gmake
                alias sed=gsed
                alias awk=gawk

                first is obvious of no fault of bsd, the second two i don't remember why any more (does bsd awk have gsub()??). i'm sure bsd versions are okay, blaming this on years on gnu

                                        @mathieu do you know research shows that if you learn to ride a reverse bike, your ability to steer a normal bike will get measurably slower

                                        that is how using gnu impairs everybody's ability to use a normal computer
