> Most systemd distributions have a lot of technical ... but they are increasingly becoming monolithic, I am not a fan of Systemd for irrelevant reasons. But the "monolithic" nature of systems has to do with the interdependence of the parts not the glue. > I remember a time when Linux was pure anarchy, with loosely coupled independent subsystems Sounds like my Linux box I have for fun. We are still making systems like that, but for business purposes we were always making solid and staid systems. Very little has changed, only the words we use to say it (and the raw power of the underlying hardware of course!)
