Were these other systems willing to pick up the slack in maintaining consolekit or coming up with their own solution? Didn't look like it. What about udev? Why did systemd devs have to pick the slack on that too?
Is is perhaps because the other init systems are only willing to touch a very narrow definition of init while depending on rotten, unmaintained pieces of the ecosystem like consolekit without being able/willing to maintain it themselves?
Or perhaps the plan is to let systemd folks do that while shitting on it so we can cook up a 600 LoC 'minimal init' while outsourcing a whole lot to systemd maintainers while taunting our minimalism?
- LargoLasskhyfv 6y agoHave you ever heard of mdev? As described in "mdev like a boss"? Or its cousin mdevd from https://skarnet.org/software/ https://skarnet.org/software/ ? Personally, I wouldn't shit on systemd, because it already stinks like hell, not a nice place to dump :-)

I also have heard it runs into trouble with the likes of GNOME/KDE. Is this seriously your 'competitor'? I did have a good belly laugh at this one, thanks!
- LargoLasskhyfv 6y agoI feel this way about current Gnome/KDE, and the like. So no real disadvantage for my cozy caveman setup. Anyways, laughing is good. Even if it sounds terminally insane.
- AsyncAwait 6y agoA caveman may well find that while he was hiding there the outside world no longer dumps in random places.
- LargoLasskhyfv 6y agoIs that really the case? I had visions about some place on some far away coast where exactly that seems to be the case. Sankt Franziskus, or something like that.
