That seems extremely unlikely. All the people who care about systemd spend their time groveling incessantly on the internet about it. And all the people who don't care, just use it without ever giving it a second thought.
And moving to BSD or Gentoo only costs businesses more money, there's no rational reason to do it for a business.
- dijit 10y agoI care about systemd. Thus all my personal infra is using variants of BSD fit for the purpose and I'm pushing for my next game launch to be on FreeBSD where POSIX/Unix is required. Change is slow but it will happen if people can make convincing arguments against systemd to people who just want it to work and not break with the least amount of money. Topics like this help my cause. It's not about grovelling it's about sending a message that "if you're going to try to be the alpha and the omega then we will hold you responsible when you fail to deliver" Nobody asked them to do this, people fought against it. But here we are and they are absolutely responsible for the bugs they inflict on the world and their hostile attitudes towards other projects.
- rhinoceraptor 10y agoMy point is the overwhelming majority of (technical) people simply don't care about init. I search for 'how to enable service in Linux X'. If I'm a real wizard, I might even write a simple init script. But the amount that I care or think about init is basically nil.
- dijit 10y agothe problem isn't necessarily init. it's everything else. The lock in, the increasing lack of interoperability, the hostility, the increasing controversies. But also, it's a little bit the init, which could have been designed much better.
