"secretive and villainous" is a great match for systemd. It's also pretty good for PulseAudio, NetworkManager, and avahi. These have all been heavily pushed by redhat.
- elagost 7y agoYou know they're all open-source, right? I understand and identify with your concerns - I've railed against systemd enough myself - but they all work (fairly) well and have made management/administration of systems cleaner and easier. I think that's why Red Hat's pushing them.
- tropo 7y agoLots of things from Red Hat are nominally Open Source, but you'd have to fork a massive project to get away from Red Hat's control. A great example is GNOME adding a systemd requirement. The key developers are employed by Red Hat, and Red Hat chose systemd, so no consideration needs to be given to the possibility that a Linux distribution might not want systemd. This is how Debian was forced into systemd. The projects very clearly do not give consideration to criticism. Choices are made by the Red Hat teams, and that is that.
