From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

After a few conversations with people on Lemmy and other places it became clear to me that most aren't aware of what it can do and how much more robust it is compared to the usual "jankiness" we're used to.

In this article I highlight less known features and give out a few practice examples on how to leverage Systemd to remove tons of redundant packages and processes.

And yes, Systemd does containers. :)

Red Hat didn't "close up the source" to anything. All the source to RHEL is available in CenOS Stream's git repos. All of the source to all Red Hat products is available in upstream projects too. Nothing's "closed".

What was announced was that the source to RHEL would only be publicly published in git (with history, tagged releases, etc.) instead of publically available SRPMs (unless you use a Red Hat account — even a free one — then you could also download SRPMs).
