It seems like that's part of their mission statement, given comments like this: "Some day, we will have turned the old crap into a real operating system. :)" -- Kay Sievers (https://plus.google.com/+TomGundersen/posts/eztZWbwmxM8 https://plus.google.com/+TomGundersen/posts/eztZWbwmxM8)
- makomk 12y agoYeah, and they seem to be using Windows as their model of what a "real operating system" looks like.
- lucian1900 12y agoBoth Windows and OS X have a unified management mechanism. In fact, OS X's launchd was a direct inspiration for systemd because of how nicely it works there. I've wanted launchd on servers for so many years.
- dijit 12y agoOSX is not an appropriate choice for a server, and Windows has limited reputation in my mind since they put the GUI in kernel space. we should not emulate the things we've overtaken and have a higher server market share than. Something we've been doing before is doing it right, and I believe it's the ability to be dynamic and modular.
- lucian1900 12y agoWindows is actually used on servers quite a bit, but that's besides the point. Service management has been a problem on (Linux) servers for a long time. Just because launchd originates on a desktop doesn't mean it's not a good idea.
