You know, the funny thing is I never exactly considered myself a systemd supporter. I just get tired of the comments from people bashing systemd which are almost always emotional and political rather than technical in nature. Maybe there's good technical arguments for some other system but they get drowned out by the "systemd is a nightmare with zero benefit that was written to make linux a desktop OS" comments..
- crdoconnor 11y agoIt's not the best architected system of all time but it's hardly a nightmare. Too monolithic though, and they like to violate the UNIX philosophy. It wasn't really any better than upstart either, which is why I was mad about seeing ubuntu rip it out in order to replace it with systemd. The main thing that concerns me most is that systemd is now dominant on virtually every linux platform and without competition it is going to stagnate. Upstart wasn't perfect but it was decent and it was competition, it worked well for ubuntu and it would have been a better choice for debian (unfortunately the vote was split 50/50 and the tiebreaker guy decided on systemd).
- rconti 11y agoIt could well be. I don't have the technical understanding or time to invest in order to make a technical criticism. But I've been fighting it for a year or two, and it hasn't started making more sense yet!
