... What you’re refering to as GNU/Linux, is in fact, systemd/GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, systemd plus GNU plus Linux. GNU/Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning systemd init system made useful by the systemd daemons, shell utilities and redundant system components comprising a full init system as defined by systemd itself.

Many computer users run a modified version of the systemd init system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of systemd which is widely used today is often called GNU/Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the systemd init system, developed by the Red Hat.

There really is a GNU/Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the init system they use. GNU/Linux is the os: a collection of programs that can be run by the init system. The operating system is an essential part of an init system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete init system. GNU/Linux is normally used in combination with the systemd init system: the whole system is basically systwmd with GNU/Linux added, or systemd/GNU/Linux. All the so-called GNU/Linux distributions are really distributions of systemd/GNU/Linux!

You will be surprised to hear that this is how we read decimal numbers too

The candles are only available in packs of 8. It's the smallest addressable unit of wax in many cake architectures

Two images of a man holding a stick that look like a large hammer. The caption reads "We can all quit. This guy found the stick of all sticks."

A photo of a cake with 8 candles in a row. The first and fifth candle from the right are lit. The caption reads "Happy 17th Birthday"

Whenever I see this picture I think of this:

| Creature | Swims | Walks | Flies |
| -------- | ----- | ----- | ----- |
| Dog      | X     | X     |       |
| Fish     | X     |       |       |
| Bird     |       | X     | X     |
| Duck     | X     | X     | X     |

Notice how for each combination of swimming, walking and flying, there is a living creature that can do just that, with the exception of swimming and flying.

Sure there are flying fish, but they glide rather than fly. Did evolution really forget to cover this niche?

But I use linux and gnome now, but it's annyoing if an app is qt, not gtk, and the chaos comes back again.

You could take a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Uniform_look_for_Qt_and_GTK_applications#Qt_ports_of_GTK_themes

McMahon reaction meme depicting increasing satisfaction. Descriptions read as follows:

  1. "You discover a new app"
  2. "It's in Nixpkgs"
  3. "It has a NixOS module"
  4. "It has a Home Manager module"
  5. "It has a Stylix module which makes it look awesome"

Sayori meme representing Linux users. Sayori is disgusted by text reading "receiving pre-installed bloatware" and instead approves "accumulating bloatware over time". Bloatware refers to unused packages.

Edit: You are so kind to give me advice on how to remove bloatware, but I don't need it :D

You can use glim or build your own tool using grub. Edit: The article on Arch Wiki describes the manual process and also list more automatic alternatives.

I freed my entire disk by removing the French language pack

Android doesn't allow that either nowadays. It's just a matter of security. You wouldn't want an unauthorized person to connect you to an insecure network or let them stop you from receiving important messages. Whether it's worth it to force the user to log in is debatable though.

I heard that SVGs in <img> tags are more restricted than ones in <object> or plain <svg> tags. Try using these instead.

It actually looks like a skyscraper with sad faces looking out of the window :(
