Linux by itself is just a kernel and won't do anything for you without the rest of the bits that make up an operating system.
- taeric 9y agoThen I'll point to the wide success of monolithic utilities such as systemd as evidence that consolidating typically helps long term. Which is to say, not shockingly, it is typically a tradeoff debate where there is no toggle between good and bad. Just a curve that constantly jumps back and forth between good and bad based on many many variables.
- hueving 9y agosystemd is also completely useless on its own. It still needs a bootloader, a kernel, and user-space programs to run. When it comes to process managers, there is obviously disagreement about how complex they should be, but systemd is still a system to manage and collect info about processes.
