    But BSDs and Linux are very similar in design philosophy and are dependent on each other.

    Interesting. Would you mind elaborating on the bold parts? Thank you in advance :D !

      I think when it comes to tooling, some Linux tools are actually BSD software that works because of POSIX compliance. An example is OpenSSH.

      Sorry for my wording. What I meant was While BSD and Linux are not dependent on each other, they do share a common Unix heritage and have influenced each other over the years.
