From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

this is everything i see monitoring Linux boxes everyday. we've shifted mostly to OpenRC about it. i can't imagine defending SystemD if you have experienced anything other than it and SysInitV. yeah compared to SysInitV, it's really nice, but to say it's good and stable? that's like praising your landlord for all the work they do and the reason they haven't fixed your broken dishwasher is because they're so busy from what a good landlord they are
