...and a File menu? WTF? How often do you need that?
How do you close all Firefox windows in one action on Windows? Alt+F4 closes just the current window. File->Exit is the only way I know of.
If someone wants a distro without systemd bad enough, someone will fork and then develop one.
Let's try s/distro/samba/
If someone wants samba without systemd bad enough, someone will fork and then develop one.
Do you really think the a fork of samba can be created and maintained? Do you think that it is a problem to come up with other products that cannot be easily forked?
I too have some experience with SCO UX, HP UX, OSF/1 - when something was broken there, then it was broken. You could not really go and replace a DNS server with something else. Or the vi editor. Or syslog deamon. If it wasn't there you could wait for next release and cough up the money or you were SOL. You also could not take a package for HP-UX and install it on a BSD. Or recompile. What makes linux great is that if you don't like the component X then you can google up a replacement pretty quickly. It may not be so polished and it may need some work to get it working (because the most popular choices get most exposure and thus polish), but it is possible.
But we are now 1 or 2 decades later. We don't only run simple software on our machines. I fear the day when samba, JBoss, KDE, LibreOffice, GIMP,
That is - you look not for things that are particularly likely to exist, but for things easy to detect.
So for example rather then trying to find factorization of a 2048-bit RSA modulus (which exists but is hard to find), you try to find 2048-bit prime that is even and bigger than 2 (that does not exists but is ridiculously easy to detect). Totally makes sense. Huh.
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
