It&#x27;s really the focus. FreeBSD operates a little closer to the cathedral model where they&#x27;re pickier, more deliberate, and more consistent. Linux takes in about anything to maximize features and development pace. Probably the reason FreeBSD has higher quality in code. Just different priorities.<p>Of course, I watch these communities from a distance. I&#x27;m not in the trenches over there. So, I could be way off. :)
