This couldn't be further from the truth. Linux is a monolith, and famously breaks internal interfaces all the time.

- AnonymousPlanet 3y agoI was talking about Linux as an OS platform, not just the kernel. The entire discussion here is about Wayland and its impact on the rest of userland, not the kernel. The kernel being a monolith is less of an issue, because there are enough companies that care about it. These companies can pour resources into the mentioned problems like setup and testing. Desktop Linux does not benefit from that because most companies only care about Linux as a server environment.
