BSD kernels really do perform substantially better and are simpler, and nowadays can interface to linux kernel modules anyway
version 6 of the linux kernel has been a tire fire in my experience in the last two years
and it's not even just linux, this fucking wayland bullshit... doesn't work with this, doesn't work with that, doesn't actually provide any substantial new capabilities compared to X, just more shit to be maintained and have bugs in it that fuck up our lives
i'm not so much against systemd, it isn't so contentious or different as X is to Wayland, and i kinda agree to some extent that quite a few parts of the linux CLI stack could use improvement, but it really has wasted a lot of developer time due to having to support multiple things (and actually the worst offender at that of all time is Python)
this is a succinct representation of my issue with most of the linux stack:
combinatorial explosion of complexity is the literal Satan of software development, and people just are not taking care to avoid it, feature creep is a dirty pedophile that we should execute forever damnit
