Ukrainian drone developers are looking at the US drone developers with a mix of disgust and confusion. Like, seriously? Does the Russo-Ukrainian war even exist for you?

By that point it should be pretty clear that anyone who opposes the one and only Right Way™ of systemd - are old and don't want to learn new ways. Obviously systemd is perfect and their philosophy is the best and not to be criticized.

It is as costly to call systemd-* garbage on HN as it is to eliminate systemd-* projects from major distros.

systemd introduced optional timers. Not long time passed and voila - cron is deprecated and hardly works today. systemd introduced optional socket activation. Boom: sshd in process list is faked on Ubuntu 22+. systemd introduced option

It does, and that's why the systemd crowd want to replace and extinguish it.

While there is nothing wrong with "systemctl edit" and it's a nice addition, one should bear in mind that the main goal of the whole systemd umbrella is to embrace and extinguish. The less you learn to do without systemd the

By whose definition of sanity? systemd haters often believe that it is sysvinit that was sane while it is systemd who is insane. I am one of those people but being systemd hater I'm obviously wrong because old.

systemd or systemd-* projects? systemd itself is metastatic. While the systemd-as-pid1 is great, IMO other parts of it grew up way too much.

They did expect backlash, so I believe no amount will cause them to cancel. Rust fanboys( ) thrive off backlash. ( ) am myself. Love rust. Hate rust rewrites.

That's a reasonable take but then keep in mind we're talking about iTerm. How is the browser different from, say, `curl https://example.com | lynx`? Or `~/.bin/playwright/chrome`? So while corporate rest

Not Ubuntu anymore, sadly. I have tried Debian after like 15 years pause and I loved it so much more. Note: we're talking server-side Linux here. Desktop wise I would stay on Ubuntu.

Yeah. Fully agree. I am this close to throwing away my MacBook and migrating back to sane Linux. For the last 20 years.
