Within Linux. Systemd is explicitly anti-portability across Unixes, and encourages dependencies on it that make life increasingly hard for the BSDs, OS X, etc.
So, yeah, if you zoom out a little from Linux, systemd fits right in with the UNIX wars.
- Aloha 10y agoLinux won the UNIX wars, by bringing an end to them - yes BSD exists - but in both mindshare, and marketshare Linux beat the rest of them out. Beyond that, sysv was never relevant for BSD - and I don't think many Linux distros went with rc.d either. So in the end, because of compatibility shims on both sites - and that our software build systems have evolved to support multiple init systems, its largely a moot point.
