In this discussion on HN, I hope that people of both sides will permit everyone to have their own opinion on systemd without becoming as emotional or angry as the last time. Topics about systemd tend to get out of hand way too fast and often. In the past I've been blamed for saying I really dislike systemd but my arguments were not even read. The same thing the other way around: I've seen people who dislike systemd flame the people who do enjoy it. Let's just not repeat that kind of discussion; we can do better.
Getting emotional about something is not always a bad thing, IMO. But let's just respect that different people hold different opinions, especially with something as controversial as systemd. Let's just aim at being constructive here.
- rc4algorithm 11y agoSome tasteful flaming is healthy in situations like this. Many people consider systemd to be a hijacking of the projects that they base their careers and livelihoods on, and many people see hundreds or thousands of hours of work they've invested being steered in an unsavory direction by a corporation or three.

- seba_dos1 11y agoWhy haven't them moved to Windows then? If you prefer Windows ways of doing stuff then use it, instead of changing a perfectly fine but different OS into Windows-bis.
- the_why_of_y 11y agoBecause Windows sucks, since it doesn't have anything like systemd.

- thaumaturgy 11y agoSo far the discussion here has been way better than the submission. I'm not a fan of systemd, to understate it, but this article is terrible. I wish it had less content and more accuracy.
