GNU/Linux requires vi, perl, python... also as dependencies, but they're separate programs, the thing with systemd is that nothing can be separated, you use ALL components at the same time or change OS. Bear in mind that systemd i

systemd is less stable than upstart (and sysvinit, obviusly), "it lacks maturity" says the author. You've had several problems with upstart, but count yourself lucky, certain problems with systemd will take down the whole sys

I feel your pain. I expect the badly-documented bug-and-vulnerability-ridden unmantainable mess aka systemd to collapse as abandonware in the future. That's what happened with similar projects before. I used systemd last year to see if

udev is a necessary component of Linux. You could say just use a fork like eudev. Fine (for the time being). But the thing is, you can't remove udev from the Linux kernel if you want to keep it calling Linux, as it'd be a f

In general, this is not about the merits of systemd as a program. GNU/Linux represents choice and freedom. The abundance of distros is proof of that. You can choose your preferred init system, system logger, cron daemon, desktop envir
