  • Using tools from one operating system with another may lead to problems as it is not infrequent that subtle differences in interpreting the "standards" may be manifested in the tools.
  • Likewise, Linux tools are vetted on & for Linux environments; using them on OpenBSD may or may not be as safe/stable/prudent, etc.
In general, it is best to stay with the tools written specifically for an operating system.
