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.

whats wrong with systemd?
https://itsfoss.com/systemd-init/
As far as I know it essentially boils down to systemd doing too many things.
At least it's actually documented.
I appreciate your explanation. I had no idea.
this makes sense. thank you
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...
