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.

Rsyslog comes standard on most linux distros, yes. It didn't get that way because the development team are idiots who don't know what they're doing.
So, on one hand we have the developers of a piece of software used by a majority of Linux users saying that, after 2 years of evaluation and testing, that these tools are useful and effective and on the other hand we have random social media people who's only knowledge on the topic is that they know AI is bad and therefore this cannot be anything but bad.
