However, "it's clear that it thinks it owns your system and that its manifest destiny is to contain all software that exists" is not one of those well-thought-through reasons :P
- chris_wot 11y agoI don't disagree :-) It would be hilarious for it to take over LibreOffice or FireFox.
- cyphar 11y agoWell, it's already taken over your logging system (storing things in a binary format, which means you're fucked if it gets corrupted), your bootloader, top, it provides an alternative container runtime, etc. It's just a matter of time. :P
- cyphar 11y agoWhat is the reason that systemd has to include a bootloader (bootctl -- which was gummiboot)? Why does it include a container engine (nspawn)? Why does it think that it should control all logging on your system (the whole journalctl monstrosity)? Yes, it might've been hyperbole, but the fact that systemd has so much code inside it which has nothing to do with "being an init system" just begs the question "why?".
