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.

Betteridge's Law of Headlines: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word 'no'." A check of the ebuild indicates that Firefox on Gentoo doesn't depend on systemd, elogind, udev, or even dbus. It isn't Firefox's fault if a given distro can't configure it and its dependencies properly (well, okay, it sorta is, because its configuration setup is complex and ugly, but . . .)
For $DEITY's sake, if you're going to be anti-systemd, do it for real reasons.
