Blog makes valid point, but why on earth there would be any current Linux distribution without usr merge?

EDIT: Especially when every major Linux distributions have already implemented usr merge long time ago.

Alpine Linux doesn't have it yet, although as postmarketOS we convinced them of the need and are now hard at work to make it happen.

Gentoo supports either configuration, as it does with a lot of things. My systems were installed with split /usr and I have no intention of changing that, because the merge adds no value for me.

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.
