To clear it up I am referring to just the kernel. You can set anything you’d like as PID 1 so we can have a non-unixlike userland. For example, some users set their kernel to boot directly into Emacs, without an init system.

    me reading your comment: 😪 Can I just get a non-MS win10 alternative that isn’t exactly like moving to a new country requiring I learn a new language and culture?

      It’s not as hard as moving to a different country, really. What the comment described was quite technical internal working of an OS, neither of which does really concern you as a user.

      If you simply want to switch to Linux, use some beginner friendly distro (Linux Mint, Fedora etc.) and you’re done.
