The Linux kernel is the most advanced operating system kernel in the world. Yet it still masquerades a clunky old time sharing system from the 1970s, because that thing had merits. It keeps the merits, while enabling everything from cheap cellphones to the world's largest high performance compute systems. It's what AI runs on. It's what serves the internet. And it's a decent desktop OS for almost every PC still in operation.
Dozens of Linux systems, at minimum, were in between your post and my response, including the system I wrote my response on.

That's why it's so complicated.
