serious #programming / #programmeing question

I don't know enough about the structure of Linux to be able to answer this question--for the moment, it's just a mass of ugly UNIX spaghetti to me

but how _much_ of the superstructure can be replaced?

like, if Linux is ever gonna be turned into something a human being can use without wanting to claw their own face off, it's gonna have to be _completely_ gutted and rebuilt

maybe better to start from some other starting place?

@kara
start from instead, if you really care about simplicity
or maybe one of the BSDs

@kaniini @kara
yup, Alpine is also nice
and Nix/Guix have pretty cool idea about packaging

@grainloom @kara

guix yeah. nix, idk, they get you into that systemd danger zone.
