       I would like to interject for a moment. What you are referring to as GNU/Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux/Systemd, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU+Linux+Systemd. GNU/Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather a part of a fully functional operating system that's being run by Systemd. GNU is just a set of core utilities and Linux is just a kernel, while Systemd is another set of utilities that is crucial to the system. Systemd is the initialization system of GNU/Linux, which is the set of tools that starts every other component when the system is booted. Systemd also has other important functions, such as managing user processes, devices, and network connectivity. GNU/Linux is normally used in combination with the Systemd initialization system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. All the so-called "GNU/Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux/Systemd.
