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.

Just try to implement user session management on a non systemd distro...
Systemd is way better than others init system. I'm using Alpine Linux on my phone and I really wait for a Fedora/Arch like PMOS project (it's on the way)
[pi@raspberry]# sudo suJust saying, not everyone needs session management...
Why spawn additional process when you can get into shell directly with
sudo -s?Well, sudo itself is a purely optional component—you can run a system quite happily with just su .
What do you do with all the process you save with that trick ?
Because I already had my fingers closer to "su" than to "-s"... but more seriously, because I tend to use
sudo -E suon a remote terminal with a PS1 set to colorize the prompt based on whether I'm running root and the host if it's remote, butsudo -E -sdoesn't run the root's.bashrcthat runs the updated colorization while at the same time exports too much of the user's environment into the root shell.
