That makes some sense I suppose. What was it about DragonFlyBSD and macOS kernel?

Faster in what sense? Would you kindly point me to the benchmarks used? It’s easy to find the opposite results so I’m curious.

At least Kali and Arch do

Sounds like you have a pretty okay experience but some specific things don’t work - please take some time to report bugs if you haven’t yet!
