   @Mirage None of them, you need to at least add systemd to make systemd/Linux, for Linux to boot up without panic()'ing on boot.

     @Mirage Care to explain this then?: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/init/main.c#n1491
     
     Linux is not a Unix kernel, as it doesn't contain any code from Unix kernels.
     
     There are a few Unix-like OS's, but very few of them are actually Unix's (GNU's Not Unix is the name of the GNU project for a reason).
     
     Yes, you can use another init than systemd, but I'm pointing of that Linux is only a kernel and not an OS, as it doesn't *operate* on its own.

     @Suiseiseki Linux (and unix systems in general) don't depend on SystemD, I used SysV in a yocto build at work once.
     
     The requirements for a linus OS is pretty low, the dead end usually comes from the Lack of MMU in the cpu.
