  1. Systemd should replace the kernel. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    Why do we even have a Linux kernel these days?

    It's late 2014, for crying out loud. It's almost 2015! We shouldn't have to deal with a Linux kernel. We should just have to install systemd and then we can have a working system.

    The Linux kernel needs to go. It needs to be replaced with systemd.

    Torvalds tried to joke and call it linux 3.18, but that broke the kernelversiond of systemd, which in turn messed the /dev tree so his printer started DDoSing his cellphone.
    All in all, a very windowsish experience.
