No Linux isn't about choice, creating a new userland still ties you into posix, linuxisms and gnuisms as with creating anything in the kernel as well.

- iuguy 16y agoWhy? Why not replace posix? It's not easy, but it's doable to modify the kernel so you can ditch it (or at least implement non-POSIX compliant structures) if you want. You can't do that with closed source OSes (except for A/UX which was posix, non posix and simultaneously painful to use).
