Its the same thing - just different naming.

Me too but there are things that will not be ported (at least soon) anyway ... that is where Linux Compat Layer helps. Even simple watching movies with DRM bullshit (Widevine) or using a Brave browser that is not in the FreeBSD Ports ... or running Linux games ... or CUDA workaround ... and no NopeVidia will not provide official CUDA support anytime soon.

Also please remember that entire The Matrix (1999) movie was rendered [1] on FreeBSD machines in Linux Compat Layer because the software used to do that was not natively available on FreeBSD an yet it sill run faster on FreeBSD in Linux Compat Layer then natively on Linux. Let that sink in.

Even today [2] playing Linux games in Linux Compat Layer is faster then natively on Linux - with more FPS and more 'stable' gameplay.

Hope that helps.

In the reference video you posted he literally states that the FreeBSD version was less stable than Linux, that he experienced repeated game crashes in FreeBSD, that frame rates would drop 50% without explanation and that the overall experience was better on Linux than FreeBSD or Windows.

It should also be noted that it’s also not native on Linux either as he’s using Wine on both Linux and FreeBSD

Maybe with games from 2004 and the like, the ones built to run with a single thread. With ntsync (and previously, esync/fsync) that's not true anymore with games designed for multiple cores.

Why are you using a scam crypto browser?

Brave does fall under crypto, yeah, but I don't know about it being a scam. You don't need to engage with the crypto/web3 and all of those can be disabled.
