- qwerty456127 6y agoWhy not standardize and document every layer of the system separately? E.g. I prefer a userland as advanced as possible and a kernel to be lightweight and stable so I can choose GNU userland on BSD and I'm even looking forward to actually switch to PowerShell (on BSD or Linux). You favor long-term standardization and stability so you might prefer BSD userland on a Linux o whatever a kernel (which you can be forced to choose because of hardware or some other requirements). You probably are ok with competing vendors offering alternative apps solving same tasks on the same OS. You hardly believe everybody should use the same OS-specific programming language. Why should there be the same kernel+userland combination for everyone?
