Monolithic Kernel

Why the hell, in the year 2024, are we still pushing monolithic kernels! The people deserve microkernels already

No well defined driver abi

Drivers running kernel space, no standard interface, they’re not very portable. It’s a mess

Systemd

What happened to kiss? This is like the polar opposite of kiss. It’s like making emacs foundational to your entire operating system. It’s basically its own operating system. It’s troublesome
