I REALLY hate inconsistencies in operating systems. I literally can't use software that:
- use weird configuration formats (e.g., systemd's ini abomination)
- end in an extension I don't like, such as *.cfg instead of *.conf or not *rc in my $HOME
- use an "_" instead of a "-" in their executable name
- use long options incorrectly (e.g., -version instead of --version)
- don't respect my $HOME and mess it up instead of putting files into .config, .local, etc.
Sometimes, I even check the source code of the software I'm interested in to see if it follows the language's coding style guide. If it doesn't, I decide not to use it. The thought of having it installed on my machine literally gives me a sharp pain. If I somehow by accident do have software installed that doesn't follow my guidelines, I uninstall it. But even after uninstalling, I constantly think about reinstalling my OS because I think it's dirty.
Anyone else do this?

The only thing that busts my ass is whene something doesn't have a man page, and you have to guess if the option is -h, -help, --help, etc.

I agree and fuck Unix in particular. An OS should enforce consistency with an iron fist.
FUCK bespoke unix weenie config languages and the people who invent them, especially the ones that are parsed fucking BACKWARDS (looking at you openbsd httpd.conf)
literally use .lua or something you egotistic unix niggers. nobody has the lifespan to learn your fucking rituals.

feebsd is alright. I still wouldn't use it because it is simply an inferior unix-like compared to linux without any real benefits unlike openbsd. (except for zfs and jails ofc). i'd love to use openbsd but i need virtualization and vmm/vmd simply doesn't cut it.

- I mostly hate non-native applications (webshit), intolerable at all.
Flatshit looking applications, CSD etc. This also makes me annoyed.
I don't like non-uniform look and feel of applications, but it's passable if it at least is sensibly done like a fucking desktop application, not some mobile shit.
- Having .config and .local at all in $HOME directory is retarded. I hate things installing themselves to $HOME/.local/bin. This is niggerlicious and I always need to work around this bullshit. I don't want shit installed in my $HOME.
- Binaries not having man pages.
- Packages installs /usr/share/doc/<program>/**/*.html instead of fucking man pages.

That's because of Unix brain damage. It has no conventions for anything so programmers just make things up. Everything was just made up by random people who all chose to do things differently, so every program looks and works like it came from a different OS. Classic Mac OS was very consistent because Apple designed how everything is supposed to look and work and programmers followed it.
