GNU/Linux is simple -- if one knows how.
Check out my process list, with the network up, X11, FVWM3 window
manager, three virtual terminals, and the Pan newsreader:

That's all.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Try and beat this!
Any distro will show HUNDREDS or processes, most of which are
pure useless BLOAT.
GNU/Linux can be wonderfully efficient and potent -- if one
knows how.
And YOU don't.
First: your ps tool is either broken or its output is falsified. With
the "ax" option, it should display the threads, which would explain the
gap between the id 1 and the id 166.
Second, and most importantly: it misses something very important. I
know, you don't care about it. But it can explain why you can't buy your
own food with Linux and need a Microsoft Windows VM to help you. Instead
of running a simple service,
I won't tell you which service you are missing because I said I wont
help you again.
Any major distro beat this: you are the only one in the world who need
to ask help from Microsoft to be able to buy your own food.
