The way this is going, Linux will end up as a single process operating system, that will do everything at web scale. All outputs in glorious binary format.
Funny, the crowd got distracted over Gnone3, Unity or Mir, or the latest worry of the day, yet never saw the big threat in their camp.

- teho 13y agosystemd is hardly monolithic as it is build of over 80 binaries. A normal system with systemd runs at least four processes: systemd (PID1), systemd-udev, systemd-journald and systemd-logind. There's various smaller services that are run on startup and other occasions. Then there are many configration utilities like timedatectl (systemd-timedated), hostnamectl (systemd-hostnamed) and localectl (systemd-localed).
