Is that a bad thing? I personally like links to where I can learn more.

    I don't. Many of the terms are easily searchable, and it's frustrating to click on one of them expecting to see syd-specific documentation about a topic or usecase only to see a generic post about a login shell (one of the links). It's trivial to highlight something and then right click and "Search DuckDuckGo for "highlighted term"" (firefox right click menu) nowadays. A search for "Login Shell Linux" nets that link they put in their documentation as literally the first result.

    I wish they only actually linked syd's internal documentation, maybe to stuff like the LWN articles explaining some of their design decisions

    Actually some of the links are easter eggs and they are pretty funny. Those can stay ig.

    I find the text harder to read, the more significant links and terms or aspects harder to identify, and the consecutive-words-links unable to identify without hovering.

    I get the idea, but I think it can be done better, and if it's like this, between less and more, I prefer less - even if that means fewer references.
