Again and again people in this thread have told me that the great thing about systems is that it delivers integrated tools.
- growse 3y agoAnd people are also telling you that tight integration is not a mandate. Having a bunch of stuff designed to work together does not mean that they're tightly coupled and can only work with their specific implementations. We've all got confirmation bias, the trick is to be aware of it.
- constantcrying 3y agoThis is such a bizarre statement. Of course any system with tight integration demands more precise specifications. Literally systems engineer 101. This is such an absurd hill to die on.
- logicprog 3y agoYou aren't making any sense. All of the components of system D are separate programs, and yes they are maintained by the same general project and designed to integrate well with each other, but just because components are designed to integrate well with other components from the same project if they are present, that doesn't remotely mean that all of the components are required. And I mean, the proof is in the pudding, there are plenty of distros that do not use all of the components of systemd. Also, doesn't Linux have a long history of creating integrated suites of programs designed to integrate well with each other and used together? Like GNU?
- kergonath 3y agoA lot of people also point out that “integrated” ≠ “mandatory” and that it is not, in fact, an all or nothing deal.
