On the other hand, OS X showed what a modern system built on Unix should feel and look like, while Linux never got anywhere near (not only on the GUI layer).
This feels like a non-sequitur. The nice GUI of Mac OS X has nothing to do with launchd (which is the systemd-like portion of Mac OS X).
- scott_karana 12y agoAre you kidding me? Launchd helps coordinate a massive selection of on-demand GUI-related services and their prerequisites. (254 services on my Mavericks install as of writing) SysV init is ill-suited to that sort of complex event-oriented management, which (for example) is exactly why Canonical developed Upstart in the first place.
