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.

@Roderik @joojmachine what’s the obsession with bloat?
The actual problem is that systemd is too good, so developers are favoring it over other init systems, which causes a feedback loop that constricts support for those other init systems.
sd-dbus. It confused some develipers so they accidentaly made systemd their dependency.
I was only joking, though I guess Lemmys need the /s to understand.
Don't have anything against systemd—as goes with anything—use whatever suits your needs.
