As a selfish user, I see taking full advantage of all the features of the kernel as a good thing. OCI container support is one of the things that keeps me so firmly planted in the Linux ecosystem. Outside the kernel, calling into non-portable extensions should only be done with good reason. One of my favourite things about Chimera is its rejection of most of the GNU specific ecosystem. Actually, I do not like GNU specific stuff in the kernel either. It should be possible to compile the kernel with multiple compilers. Ironically, with the addition of Rust in the kernel, most distributions will have to use both LLVM and GCC to create a kernel whereas Chimera can use LLVM for both. Hopefully by the time important Rust code starts to ship in Linux, GCC will have a proper Rust front-end. I am all for one “most popular” Linux distro that new users can be directed to and that commercial interests can support. Linux ubiquity is being held back by “fragmentation” in that way. That said, I want the ability for myself to choose other ways of doing things ( knowing the convenience I am giving up to do so ). I want focussed projects to be able to innovate. Even if we have a “most popular” option, I do not want a mono-culture. You can have an all systemd system. It can be the norm. Please do not take away my ability to do something else. At least, do not do it without a good reason.
