+I'd just like to interject for a moment.  What you're referring to as
+GNU/Linux, is in fact, systemd/GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling
+it, systemd plus GNU/Linux.  GNU/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, systemd daemons, and systemd utilities
+comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

+I just recently learned how much [problematic][prob] systemd is:
+
+- It tries to do way too much for an init system, which is against the Unix philosophy.
+- As it does too many things, its code base is more than 1 million line long,
+  which in turn leads to some more problems:
+- It has some security concerns.
+- It has poor cross-platform compatibility.
+
+Trying to do too many things [make it worse][morebad].

+I currently don't find time and energy and enough incentive to switch my whole
+system to something else, but if that sounds like a dealbreaker for you, find a
+non-systemd distribution, you can find one in this following website:

+
+By the way, Alpine Linux is a super lightweight distribution that is neither
+GNU nor systemd.
