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.

Yes and yes.
Personally I always found systemd amazing, it brought logic and order in the init world.
Finally some consistent API and predictable behavior.
Exactly. People are pretty averse to consolidating on something new, but let's be super honest here. SystemD is pure FOSS and not going away anytime soon. It's design is reasonable and brings a good deal of useful features. Also, main distros being a little more similar because they all support SystemD's API/config is an absolute win for me!
