I just recently came across this in Ubuntu and was astounded that it's allowed to be this way. I think this kind of behavior will become more and more prevalent once one util is allowed to do it.
It leads us on a path where daemon authors don't allow us to override the settings to suit us, rather to kept them controlled to suit them.
The arrogance sets a very bad precedent.
- sverige 8y agoThe arrogance has been there since the start of systemd. It's not just a comment on a particular personality, either, but rather on the general attitude as demonstrated by design decisions. I think it helps to think of it as making Linux more like Windows, with all of the plumbing hidden from the user and difficult to tweak by the administrator. "Why would you need to, anyway? We've already taken care of that for you."
- glennpratt 8y agoThat's rich considering that I regularly use systemd override files with no issue instead of having to hack garbage init scripts filled with bugs.
- johnny22 8y agohah. i've never had an easier time tweaking linux than with systemd. My first linux was I think Debian Potato (or whatever came on a cd in 1998).
