From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Pure Debian is the way.
It was until they shipped systemd. Bloody mess.
If you don't mind me asking, why do you not like systemd? I like it a lot and in my humble opinion it makes life really easy.
Few people have valid rationale for not liking systemd. Most just parrot something they read because they think they are supposed to have an opinion on it.
I think half of hubbub comes from the fact that the lead dev was a bit of an ass, if I recall correctly. But hey, Linus Torvalds isn't really known to be a constant ray of sunshine.
