it's not closed, in fact (as I mentioned before) there are other companies and users contributing to the software
2 - ok so what if people didn't have time or will to choose all the software and build a Linux distro from scratch?
3 - bloats? Tell me where are the bloats. I guess you consider bloat everything that doesn't follow the suckless philosophy. And I guess that every time your requirements or context change, you change all your OS because it must completely follow your purposes and cannot exceed of a byte. Also, following your way of thinking, you may not like some parts of the Linux kernel, what will you do then? Change it and recompile it all and also compile again all the software and libraries which were written upon of it? There is a thing called "general purpose" made for being able to adapt to any situation and use case. This necessarily implies some more things but it's not bloat as one day you may find it useful.
Anyway I noticed we have different ways of thinking and different preferences so I guess we should stop it here to avoid time wasting.
0- so? 1- in this case i'm talking about other than linux not just bsd. besides if i send patch fix something or change a design will they review and apply it? 2- in this case they don't need linux but some good user friendly distros are available. 3- in case of bsd we are talking about bsd operating system not just kernel like linux. anything preinstalled once not be match with the requirements of the contexts, is a bloat even libc. in case of the kernel, linux is highly modular i am probably able to remove or change the module and if there is a mistake so will be fixed if i report the issue or send a patch.
