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.

Init system should be standardized as well. If I want to auto start my app, I shouldn't care if it's init.d or whatever else bullshit. Just one fucking system!

Why some obscure app should touch system-wide init? GTFO of my init!

And generally your comment is filled with super wierd stuff.

It's normal stuff. Linus himself talked about it for years. And nothing has improved.
