Compare to Gentoo. Gentoo defaults to their homegrown OpenRC. But Gentoo is all about choice and so systemd is an option and works perfectly well. That's "init-freedom". If someone doesn't like systemd and removes it from their distro, that's OK with me. But calling that "init-freedom" seems weird. Maybe they should call it something like "sysv-freedom", if that's what they mean.
- digi_owl 12y agoSadly the one thing that dissapears in this debate is that systemd has long since gone beyond being a init. For me the whole thing came to a head when i learned that consolekit (a bothersome thing on its own) was depreciated in favor of logind. And logind is tied to the hip of systemd. There are also issues like journald that you need to have running even if your primary logging facility is syslogd etc. At this point in time, systemd as init is just a minor part of the issue in my opinion.
