Mario, (Free)BSD is Unix derivative and thus standard compliant, look
at sockets, IPv4, IPv6, Jails, ZFS, etc.

It was Linux folks who invent things that are only compatible with
Linux and only until new fancy pancy Linux only revelation is
introduced then those solutions are not even Linux compatible anymore.
"Progress by Enforced Changes"^TM. It was Docker that did not take
other OS into consideration at design stage. It was SystemD that did
not take other OS into consideration at design stage, and now lots of
application follow that systemd core dependency making them hardly
portable to any other OS. What about kernel API changes with every
minor release that started around 2.4.11 (I was using Linux 2.0.36 /
~1998 .. 2.4.12 / ~2007)?  Look at DRM mess it introduced to graphics
driver world. How would you call that interoperability / portability /
long term maintenance? Linux by design is self-incompatible. Do you
really want us to to follow that "fashions" with a life span shorter
than a yogurt?

There are reasons for people avoiding Linux.
