Linux in 2020: 27.8 million lines of code in the kernel, 1.3 million in systemd

Charles 9

A few honest questions here. Serious answers please.

1. Exactly what serious, genuine problem does systems claim to solve? Is it such a grave problem as to require an approach that violates the UNIX compartmentalization principle?

2. If systemd is so bad, why haven other key personnel of the kernel team spoken up or raised motions against it, particularly Mr. Torvalds himself?

3. If so many people disagree with the direction Linux is taking, why hasn't someone forked Linux itself to remove anything like systemd from the tree and enforced the compartmentalization principle (call it trunix or something)?
