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 it’s actually designed modular

Oh? Try to use systemd without logind or journald. logind isn't so bad, but journald was bad enough, that I gave up with systemd.

I use Gentoo with OpenRC. So my position in this matter should be clear. Anyway, check the last paragraph again to see what I think about systemd's modularity.

Yes. I agreed with you. But I made it sound like something else. Bad wording on my side.

As I'm too Gentoo openrc user. I also use seatd+greetd instead of (e)logind and replacing sysvinit with openrc-init. The availability of choices made me do it!

Oh! I misunderstood. Sorry! Glad to meet a fellow Gentoo here!
