- icedchai 8y agoI've been using Linux since 1993, FreeBSD since 1995. systemd has a weird, "non-unixy" feel to it. It does too much. Yeah, the fast bootup times are nice.

- yellowapple 8y agoQuestion is: is systemd the Linux or the MINIX in this particular debate?
- fao_ 8y ago> Yeah, the fast bootup times are nice. Every machine I've put SystemD on takes an extra 20 seconds to boot. This includes thinkpads, and other machines. I've tried a mix of distributions, all of the ones with SystemD take longer. I've even tried altering things to take less time. So I don't see how 'faster boot' can be considered part of systemd's bag of tricks.
- icedchai 8y agoMaybe it is all a lie. I mostly run it on servers.
