You may or may not like systemd, but the code that it replaced in distros was often of subpar quality. systemd is not perfect, nor for everyone. But this is all free software, use whatever distro you feel empowers you!
- dozzie 11y agoOld init systems maybe are of subpar quality, but calling "not perfect" a tangled mess of DNSSEC, containers manager, nonsensical log receiver, QR codes implementation, device file manager, filesystem mounter, network manager, and IPC bus is a vast understatement. Considering how Poettering's software fits into servers landscape, I feel heavy urge to steer away from whatever he recommends. > [...] use whatever distro you feel empowers you! You could say the same about iPhone: use whatever phone OS empowers you on this hardware! It's not like there are many non-systemd distributions left, much less the distributions you could entrust with a server (or a farm of servers).
- ceratopisan 11y agoOther code in various systems being crappy is orthogonal to systemd's crappiness levels.
- digi_owl 11y agoFrankly i don't get it. The only place that stateless makes sense (unless you are really deep into -sec) is in container farms. So for distros, in particular any distro that tries to present itself as general purpose, to focus on that end up as "some animals are more equal than others". Fuck it, who is he to even "suggest" where distros should focus?! Its the horse dictating where the cart is going to be used for.
