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.

Why?
Thats because its bloatware, and i just need a init system for start my pc, also its dictated by Redhat. Same reason for i hate Ubuntu because Cannonical behind it, and behind of systemd is Redhat.They bind rest projects to themselves.(gnome has dependency to systemd) We shouldnt let Companies to be game keeper in Foss world. Thats my opinion.
The entire Linux kernel is constantly contributed to by companies. So I guess you should hate Linux then.
being contributing and being developing by are two different things.They contributing because they use it on their own server.Linux has dominated server world so its understandable.
They do develop Linux. Not just financial contribution
