| > Just read the thread rather than trying to conjure meaning from a single comment My comments are half of the thread, and I don't think I'm missing context; yes, the kernel is often a monolith, but 1. nobody really likes that, it's just hard to fix[0], and 2. the kernel can mostly be ignored because it presents a clean enough ABI and doesn't really affect userspace[1], whereas systemd is a monolith in userspace that very much does affect the rest of the system. I'm not seeing any "cognitive dissonance". > rather than trying to conjure meaning from a single comment like a rtard Insulting people is both against the site guidelines[2] and an excellent people to get people to disagree with you even if they might have been otherwise convinced. [0] Because context switching in and out of ring 0 murders performance. [1] Seriously, you can swap out the kernel completely like Debian kFreeBSD and it's basically invisible to the user. [2] "When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to '1 + 1 is 2, not 3.'"
