I would prefer if the user account installation could ask during OS install whether the user like to have a UNIX or a Linux profile and inform people that the GNU profile (as known fro Linux) could not support all features of the UNIX programs. Note that Solaris _has_ an own userland while Linux uses the GNU userland that does not even implement Linux specific features. At the same time, the ON userland needs massive polishing and should be enhanced to support popular options from other universes (like BSD or GNU). The ON userland needs polishing as it has been forgotten during the past ~ 12 years. Defaulting to the GNU userland discourages people who are used to work with the UNIX userland.
