if you're running a business there are good reasons to choose tools that are reasonably well known and widely used, regardless of whether they're the absolute best available on the market. The biggest reason being that it's

You might not like the 'kernel debug command line affects systemd' behavior Correct, I don't like that behavior. Just like I, along with a bunch of other people, don't like this pager options handling. If I like it o

Yawn. It's been covered to death that the problem isn't that systemd was parsing the kernel command line, or that the kernel command line is exposed to user space system services; the problem is the overloading of the string &quot

Oh, they'll namespace the pager options environment variable, but wouldn't namespace the kernel command line options so systemd's debug output isn't confused with the kernel's debug output? This is some next level

yum does the same thing. I actually looked at the code and it always assumes the output width is 80 characters and wraps or center…truncates if output isn't a terminal. It also doesn't properly sort its output, so you're te

And the only thing keeping that from happening with traditional init is someone submitting a patch against the package to split up the functionality of the init script into more distinct subunits. It's interesting to note that no patch

in addition, systemd can also execute timer units periodically. This is functionality that sysv init lacks. You present this as if this makes sysvinit somehow lesser because of it lacks the ability to execute timer units. Sysvinit doesn&

[stateless] is actually, pretty hard to actually implement and systemd is trying really hard to do this. Support for stateless has existed in RedHat based distributions since at least 2003-2004. I, in fact, used it to run a ~50 seat call

Yeah, that was an odd fix. Then /proc/cmdline doesn't reflect what the actual kernel command line was, thereby making debugging more opaque. The sane option, which the kernel developers suggested, was that systemd namespa

The reason why I would prefer to have systemd respect the "debug" flag, even if it means that kernel developers have to learn a new workflow, is that there are a lot more system administrators than kernel developers out there, an

It's even worse on mobile, where the popup/overlay is difficult to close because it's larger than the viewport. If it takes me longer than 3 seconds to figure out how to close the popup, I end up just closing the tab.
