Is BSD this way? I never used it, but I haven’t read about it either.

- torstenvl 3y agoYes, the base system is a cohesive whole, not a set of packages. You don't update the kernel separately from, say, the core user land, the way you'd update linux-kernel and binutils as separate packages on a linux distribution. BSD doesn't use the term "atomic" but as near as I can tell it's the same idea.
