     @xaetacore @sendpaws @nach >Linux is the Kernel Plus Software,
     Wait, what is the kernel called again?
     
     It's called Linux, but you have to make things confusing as hell?
     
     GNU/Linux is Linux plus GNU plus other software - see how that actually makes sense?

     @sendpaws@mitra.pawslut.party @nach@detroitriotcity.com Linux is a patch work of different software dependant on the distribution, You can just pick any other distro that does not use systemd and not have the problem.
     
     people treat linux as if it is similar to windows or osx which it isnt,
     
     Linux is the Kernel Plus Software, Its a package that can come in many different combinations.

     @nach@detroitriotcity.com @sendpaws@mitra.pawslut.party Tell that to the losers who push that law its not the fault of Systemd for complyting system72 also had to comply they are simply not big enough to stand up against it.
     
     Systemd runs in all enterprise distro's what were they supposed to do, people forget this but the majority of contributors of most opensource projects like that are companies themselves and those companies HAVE to comply so of course that will sink into the projects they contribute to

     @matthew @nach @sendpaws @xaetacore The fact you are referring to GNU as "Linux" shows how hard things have been hijacked away from freedom.

     Sort of.
     
     Most of the "punk" Software Freedom type of people were replaced with conformists. This is also largely an infiltration of Linux by SystemD and people Sympathetic to Microsoft and Facebook (Meta).
     
     So there's still a lot of cool people using and working on Linux, but the original ethos has been hi-jacked.

     @matthew@social.retroedge.tech but the original ethos has been hi-jacked.Yes, that was the entire point of "open source", as opposed to "free software". Its sad to see how many "foss" people don't understand when its so clear these days 😢
