This is why i f**ing hate macOS. Developers wax poetic about 'oh its a UNIX', but NOTHING works like Linux once you dig into it. Zsh is different from bash, subtle API differences, different filesystem, esp with stuff like /dev or /proc or /etc, no systemd, some cli utils have different flags, subtle differences like this.

At least Windows is completely different and there's no expectation of compatibility, but with the mac you can start off thinking things would work, but they don't.
