So, in other words, you've been using it for a long time and you're used to it. As such it no longer feels difficult. That is perfectly fine and normal, but what you seem not to realise is that the "breeze" part here is you not the OS.

Somethings I have routinely encountered in recent years, reviewing this stuff, are:

[1] When I report something that went wrong, xBSD users are very quick to castigate me, call me a liar, tell me I am incompetent, that things are fake news, etc.

[2] When I bother to chase things down, talk to the developers, etc. then they confirm that what I found was real, correct, and true -- but they never thought anybody would do that stuff.

It shocked the FreeBSD folks that VirtualBox defaults to BIOS firmware in 2025... and it labels UEFI as "experimental". What I said was correct: FreeBSD cannot readily boot from ZFS on MBR on a BIOS system. And no, it is not documented. They didn't think anyone would try, and they didn't know the defaults of the single most common cross-platform FOSS hypervisor.

Similarly, default CUA key bindings like Ctrl+left and Ctrl+right don't work and tend to emit garbage when used on the console. These are absolutely standard CUA defaults for the PC platform, but not in BSD. I don't know what it uses, maybe Vi keystrokes -- I learned that in 1988, hated it then, and never use it if I have a choice -- or Emacs. I refuse to use Emacs. I don't have a Meta key and neither does anyone on the Emacs dev team. Ain't got time for that 1970s nonsense.

My attitude is: run on the PC? Adopt PC standards or GTFO. This upsets BSD folks who think their '70s VAX standards or whatever are perfectly fine.

That's fine. I will continue pointing out the stuff that doesn't work until someone fixes it. I am sure there will be plenty of other stuff that doesn't work. It's not like there's a shortage.
