They can, and often do, use GNU tools and binaries underneath.
Really? They might use some GNU programs, but I'm sure the default user land for OpenBSD is all theirs. Just because you know
cpetc. as GNU utils doesn't mean the BSDs use the same ones. They are just part of the operating system. https://github.com/dcantrell/bsdutils tried to collect various BSD implementations for exampleThe "coreutils" that macos uses by default are all older shitter bsd versions. I discovered this when half of my scripts and commands didnt work properly.
Silly me thought I could just bring my cash scripts over and not have any major issues (I'm not doing anything crazy). But even something as simple as grep didn't work right because it could recursively search directories in the old bad version Mac comes with.
All of the gnu versions are much better and you can install them with homebrew.
Yeah, I had a few scripts just act weird on osx. The parameters were different and some of them just behaved differently. It was oddly frustrating.
