That's more of a distro thing than "Linux being a few screws loose".

I vastly prefer the OpenBSD kernel too, but if you use a distro that does things properly such as NixOS, the BSDs are the ones that feel wonky.

That's what I mean. Every distro has plenty of loose screws, because they all package a kitchen sink, but miss the forest for the trees. Meanwhile Linus himself is upset, because he can publish a precompiled build of Subsurface for every platform, except Linux.

A BSD is a vertically integrated base system. Design is how it works.
