As far as I know it essentially boils down to systemd doing too many things.

Critics argue that systemd is too complex and monolithic, making it harder to troubleshoot. They worry about a single point of failure, as all services are managed by one daemon, and voice concerns about tight integration with the Linux kernel, which could limit portability to other systems.

At least it's actually documented.

I appreciate your explanation. I had no idea.

[-] awwsom@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I don't feel like anything is wrong with systemd, but options are apart of what makes Linux so awesome.

I'm pretty sure that you mean "a part of" rather than "apart of". Otherwise it sounds like you are saying options and Linux are two different things.

Oh boy, here we go again...

I went to DL it and try it out, and… dude, I hate Sourceforge. I know how privileged this sounds, but I'm not spending a half hour DLing something that I can DL in a minute and a half somewhere else.

Anybody got a line on a torrent?

How does the immutability come into play with Nitrux vs, say NixOS?

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.
