You should bear in mind that there are plenty of people here on HN who have had the experience of running pre-systemd unixes and they know exactly how much "the alternative world" sucked. Spoiler: not much.
- nickysielicki 1y agoI was in college before Debian adopted systemd, and worked part time as a sysadmin managing hundreds of pre-systemd Debian systems. You’re wrong.
- egorfine 1y agoI was in college when you were born. And managed thousands of pre-systemd instances including a vast zoo of unixes which were long gone by the time systemd ate the world. You're wrong.
- nickysielicki 1y agoGood for you, I'm simply saying that my feelings on the superiority of systemd are informed by having used linux before systemd was around, whereas you insinuated that I had not. I don't really care to argue about it.
