Kernel has really only gotten bigger for security, scheduler, file system and network.
Command line, server only installs on raspberry pi are surprisingly light on disk and ram consumption. We expect ipv6, a good file system that doesn’t blow over in a power outage. I don’t think twice about pulling USBC power when things go sideways. 486 Pc era. No chance. That was a moment to reacquaint myself with a diety.
Userland wants more. Some standards are followed. Some code is shared (good and bad). I want 4K hidpi and fonts and colours on a raspberry freaking pi. That convenience costs in terms of storage, compute, and ram. Compare to Mac or windows and Linux looks anorexic.
