Now systemd will be in the boot loader, too, so finally we'll be able to have perfect power management in Linux, once it controls everything first-hand :-)

- hugelgupf 9y agoIf you want to use systemd with LinuxBoot, go for it, but LinuxBoot as it is doesn't prescribe an initramfs or a runtime. You can use whatever you want. :)
- faragon 9y agoI was kidding, it was just "systemd overlords"-irony :-)
- hugelgupf 9y agoI know, just making sure for other readers :) We're trying not to make the wrong impression. Besides - the goal of the project is to enable you to have more control over your firmware - if you want systemd in it, we might advise against it, but it's all up to you.
- tadfisher 9y agoYou can put whatever in the initramfs, but since Linux just boots as a UEFI executable with CONFIG_EFI_STUB=y, it would be somewhat silly to start up a full userland via systemd in the bootloader. systemd-boot is a thing though, which is a pretty small UEFI application that reads a Freedesktop Boot Loader Specification config [1] from an EFI partition and tells UEFI to boot a kernel directly. Definitely no Linux or systemd-init involved though. [1]: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/BootLoaderSpec/ https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/BootLoaderSp...
