I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, SystemD/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, SystemD plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning SystemD system made useful by the SystemD corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the SystemD system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of SystemD which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the SystemD system, developed by the SystemD Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the SystemD operating system: the whole system is basically SystemD with Linux added, or SystemD/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of SystemD/Linux.
ITYM SystemD/lignux.
who the fuck let master blaster in here
>Hello, I'm Microsoft and mad as fuck that GNU has a vastly superior init system to everyone else including that *BSD thing we take all our code from, please stop using GNU because we are losing money and popularity every single day
He mad tho.

Windows doesn't have an init system. It has several, split up into different complex systems that all run on startup, kind of like what SystemD will be some day.
Really makes the calcium, sodium, and potassium ions move around in your neurons.

>windows doesn't have an init system
Sure it does, it's called DOS.
There are so many bullshit things over the years that have proved that Windows still uses a mutation of DOS in its core (e.g. the inability to name files certain things). The architecture of Windows is so pathetically patched together out of various uncoordinated things hacked together that I'm sure even Microsoft is surprised when they can get it working. Meanwhile systemd is a single, solid, coordinated system that just fucking works, and Microsoft is mad as fuck about it.

Windows hasn't been DOS compatible since the 1990s. What are you smoking?
>inability to name files certain things
Go name a file "////" on Linux.
SystemD is a brilliant implementation of the Windows OS philosophy in Linux.

>>inability to name files certain things
Such as AUX, PRN etc?
Yeah Linux can do that. Try naming //// on Windows
>>56944286
You can't name a file //// on Linux.

Not even close, systemd is dogshit.
