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.

    Couldn’t we implement a non-unixlike userland though (e.g. it’s all just emacs)
