“It’s more like gnu”

You are correct. GNU has the bad habit of only working with itself as well. Systemd only works with Glibc so it fits in well.

The reality is that GNU is just a subset of the Red Hat Linux platform these days. Systemd is another part. GNOME is the other big chunk. They are all designed to work with each other and do not care if they work with anything else.

You cannot even decouple SystemD from Glibc, never mind separating the various components from each other. It is a bunch of processes but it is designed as a monolith.

Though I see Systemd as an improvement, I still do not like it.

The Chimera Linux FAQ captures my thoughts quite well:

One of the ironies with System76 is that they are taking so long to release their Wayland-only desktop that they are becoming one of the last bastions of Xorg.

I am confused. Autoclicker does not work?

Or do you mean keyboard input?

Accessibility is better than reported on Wayland. It is being taken seriously.

A big factor in Europe right now is a shifting relationship with the US.

Companies, governments, and individuals have some incentive to find alternatives to big US tech. For operating systems, Linux is really the only option.

When Linux hits 10%, you will see hardware ship with Linux drivers day one.

Had the same experience at work. Brand new work laptop with Windows and a bunch of mandatory spyware. Personal laptop running Linux on 10 year old hardware. Linux machine is more responsive and pleasant to use.

Linux on old laptops is a joy. I spent my morning on an old MacBook Pro that I found on the recycled electronics bench when I dropped off some bottles. Runs great (Niri instead of Hyprland but similar).

The third party never forms a government but that does not mean it does not have an impact on national politics. See my other comment.

A three party system is completely different than a two party system even if only two of the parties have ever held a majority.

The NDP has been the official opposition. There are times, as in many minority governments, where the third party has more impact on national policy than the opposition does (via alliances).
