The Unix philosophy of write programs that do one thing and do it well.
Write programs to work together. Write programs to handle text streams,
because that is a universal interface (Doug McIlroy)

That is exactly what unix was designed for in various flavours but
performance and so cpu handling depends on the application. Systemd is
larger than init, so for embedded it may well quadruple boot time.

A list made to impress. If you actually look at what it means to you, is

Is debian switching if not I believe ubuntu and debian probably make up
far more share than perhaps all the others.
