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.

Because of the ubiquity, nay, monopoly of systemd I always assumed it was miles ahead of other init systems. Nope. I've been using a non-systemd environment for a while and must say I'm surprised by how little breaks, i.e., next to nothing. Moreover, boot and shutdown times are faster, and more of that good stuff. I suggest trying it out.
Because most people prefer it. Again: having a minority taste doesn't mean you're oppressed when there's an option to have what you want.
I don't remember anyone -asking- for systemd, I just remember being subjected to it at the time it started getting popular.
If systemd is the solution, I want my problem back.
That's because you very clearly had nothing to do with developing or maintaining Linux distros. You're just a user with an ego problem. There are plenty of explanations that exist now and then to explain why systemd was desirable, and why it ended up in basically every major Linux distro, including Arch and Debian, both of which are not corporate, but community developed.
Yeah, these people never do their research. Its very easy to find the discussions and reasoning the devs had at the time.
That especially disqualifies the conspiracy idiots who come up with myths about Red Hat or Poettering or Microsoft or so puppeteering Linux into its dooooom
Well, its getting increasingly undesirable.
Also get fucked lol.
Says who, lmao. Keep crying.
