Finally moving to an OS with systemd as the init system cost my team two months of platform stability. Every time we thought we had fiund the magic order or operations incantation and fire things up, we'd find a new poorly documented config item that had to be mucked with. Nothing so fundamental as starting a set of services should be that hard. SystemD has a few nice features but none of them are worth the headache. I applaud Knoppix for this move. I'm personally headed back to slackware, now that everything I work on is containerized anyway. SytemD won the war by persistence alone, not quality of work.
- StreamBright 7y agoI hope that some of the other distros follow this move of Knoppix. I have had exactly the same experience with SystemD like you. The good parts of systems: standard simple format for describing unix services instead of shell scripts. Everything else they do is just crazy. The amount of CPU it uses also crazy.
