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.

No, like, alternatives to systemd-stuff often do the same job in 1/3 or 1/10 the code.

Sure, but that is just unnecessary bloat if you already have the systemd-stuff installed.

but with only 1/20 of it's capabilities lmao

80/20 you know? :) like in sudo vs. doas.

And no. Maybe Runit. Dinit, hard to say. S6 has no need for sockets but still implements it.
