ELI5: Why can’t a command-line program for Linux work on FreeBSD, Windows, macOS, etc when they’re running the same hardware?
I can run many OSes on the same hardware.
Why can I not run the same software on all of them without modification (at least on the commandline – I recognize the GUIs work differently)?
