  This looks surprisingly tempting. I agree with a lot of the ideas behind systemd, but at the rate it is growing, I'm going to type this in systemd-firefox in systemd-xmonad in six months. How stable is it in practice?

    I can't see why most people would want that, with the exception of replacing journald. Why strip out device init, or even timers? Swap init is less useful, but I don't see the harm. What is it that makes uselessd attractive? And why do you consider systemd to be bloated?
    • mercurial 12y ago
      I like my init system to be an init system. However, the scope of systemd seems to expand monthly. I mean, you get an ntp client, a dhcp client, a logging system, and they apparently want to expand into containerized applications? I'd rather have a project with a smaller, well-defined scope.

          I know, but I still don't think they belong under the same umbrella.
