I think that SystemD is an attempt to put Linux on par with Mac OSX and Windows 8.X, and attempts to do that haven't worked in the past.
Like Canonical changing Ubuntu to use Unity and Mir, so that it was easier to use on tablets and modern PCs. It just doesn't seem to work and it drove me to Lubuntu and use LDXE with an XP like Start Menu UI.
Ubuntu doesn't use SystemD yet, but I got a feeling it will.
I am downloading Fedora 20 because it has SystemD in it, so I get some idea what it is like.
But I think every Linux company wants to become another Apple for some reason. They saw how *BSD Unix went into making Mac OSX, and they want to try and copy that with their Linux distro and right now this SystemD seems like a path to that.
It is like a change from free and open source to commercial Linux. We all saw how Lindows/Linspire tried that and failed.
I might go to ReactOS, HaikuOS, AROS when one of them gets finished to the right level that it is ready for prime time. All they need to do is port Apache2, PHP, MySQL and other stuff to those operating systems to be used in VPS hosts so they can be used as alternative to Linux with SystemD if it ever breaks things.
- pekk 12y agoWhich Ubuntu release did you find to be using Mir as a default?
- orionblastar 12y agoI think it was on a tablet, not on the desktop by default yet. It is kind of confusing.
