>The Linux community was way more trying to run on everything.

In contrast to some opinions, I like this sometimes.

For example, would the world come to an end if FreeBSD came with neovim?

If the prompt out of the box showed pwd?

I know that some things are controversial (ahem systemd), but when learning a new system, little things matter and make your system popular.

(And, as a side rant, in contrast to some who like to use haskell on nixos (Which I actually like!) running on an obscure chipset, popularity is good. If someone asked me what Unix should he learn, I'd send him to Linux and not FreeBSD, since it's going to be much easier to find noob help online. Then, this noob will go on to become a sysadmin, he'll recommend Linux because he knows it and will be able to find others who do.)

That's a bit like asking Debian to be more like Ubuntu. And I have seen plenty of software that only works on Ubuntu, on other Linux distros you are on your own.

For an end-user friendly BSD you may want to look at TrueOS (https://www.trueos.org/). They take FreeBSD and then add more sauce to provide a better user experience.
