Adrian Cochrane (alcinnz@floss.social)'s status on Saturday, 16-Mar-2024 04:54:47 JST Adrian Cochrane @mahtin Hmmmm, I'm noticing a major step missing there! Linux has to be initialized after GRUB & before systemd!

No, I was saying that before userspace processes like systemd can be run we need to initialize kernel-space so we have multitasking!

Reminds me of an old twitter post by SwiftOnSecurity which I think goes like this:
> Mommy, what's Linux?
> That's what systemd used to be called.
