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.

Basically this, and quite a long time ago. Anything even remotely modern (and by that I mean like, the last decade or so) is either using systemd, or in the case of debuntu, rsyslog.
Wonder what kind of funky environment is using syslog-ng, and to what scale so that there's literally a 'syslog-ng engineer' job posting.
It'll either be military or industrial... neither want to replace “perfectly operational“ tech for ~10 years.
If it's "perfectly operational", they wouldn't need someone to maintain it 🫠
Asking the real questions.
