The thing is though - their code is already written. Systemd is entirely unnecessary for 99% of people, probably everything except some of it's LXC features has clear and popular alternatives. LXC is the only thing making me eye systemd with interest, but I'll come back to it in a few years once all the weird stuff is worked out.
- dijit 10y agoIt's nice to hear that you have the choice of not running systemd. All production ready Linux distros (RedHat (and by extension CentOS), SuSE and Debian) are all running systemd and as a systems administrator for a large company I _must_ adopt it, I don't have a choice.
- ultramancool 10y agoIf those major distros weren't switching though, you wouldn't have to, which is what my point was. The only reason you're adopting it is not for a practical benefit, just because the distros did. I run devops though for a small business and we've avoided the issue entirely using runit for our software.
