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.

The fact your comment here is at -1 really underlines the immaturity of many users.
I can understand your previous comment getting downvoted because it was a little inflammatory, but your statement here is entirely factual with a neutral tone. So there's really no reason to disagree with it, let alone pepper it with downvotes.
Bills?! Bills?! How very dare you suggest that people require compensation for their work.
You're in a Linux community here. Open Source development is about freedom. All work should be made freely available for users and corporations to enjoy as they wish without having to consider such frivolities of whether anyone should be compensated.
Are you using Linux at work without systemd? Seems unlikely. All our 400+ nodes run RHEL and consequently systemd. This doesn't seem to impact our researchers' use of CUDA in the slightest when executing code on the nodes or in any kind of container.
With other init systems you don't have to write any custom config files. You just have to start docker; it already has container maintenance built-in.
I'll never understand why they had to complicate it and require every container to also have a unit of explicit management.
It is, it's what
restart: alwaysdoes. It will restart a container on failure and start it on boot, unless explicitly stopped.Most people do not care about their init system. Fewer still care about your init system. Use what you want, just quit shouting about it.
