Shell is not the best language for complex programs but it does not justify the kitchen sink approach taken by systemd.
It looks like an example of corporate bullying vs. open-source community and the corporate won.
- lmz 4y agoMost of your modern Linux infra is corporate. The large distros, the maintainers, the main contributors. The "community" is still free to do whatever they want and go use something else. (eg. Alpine is not using systemd)
- kaba0 4y agoSystemd’s core is quite lean. People just often lump in together a bunch of related, but not core packages and believe that all they do is boot up. It’s like claiming that kde-plasma is bloated because it has everything even a video editor under the namespace.
