VERY interesting! Now, let's expand the discussion, if you don't care much for systemd (and/or voted "HATE IT!" or "Don't like it, prefer a different one!"), which one would you prefer?? (if any at all) runit, upstart, or something else?? And maybe why??
PS. I'm glad I'm not systemd's developers, as no one at this point seems to have a strong opinion in favor of it! ;) |

Systemd is a good thing, because it is available on all linux distributions.

If it were just another init system, there would have been no outcry, but it is not, it is being integrated into other programs, causing a lot of bother to people who like 'freedom', whether you are for it or not, you can see that for your self.
Personally, I like the unix way of doing things, & will continue to support those who continue along this line. :) |
It is just meaning that the original "Unix philosophy" is no longer existing in today's Linux community.
The today's Linux community is not congruent at all. So, let's take a simple programmer example. Are you ready? GTK is today classic and standard, right? Compiling this will cause in interesting results on your installation. Code:
/* example-start base base.c */ Code:
The following NEW packages will be installed: |
As I said in another thread – the things that were true on an isolated 1970's minicomputer ... and, I was there ... are not today sacrosanct. Neither is the deployment situation the same. Today, a single large company might run hundreds or even thousands of Linux machines. They have to be able to control them remotely and to make them function as a distributed-computing unit. "systemd" was specifically conceived with these new operational requirements in mind.
If you can't conceive of a world without inittab and crontab with which to run your one Linux machine, there's no one stopping you ... even today ... from running your one Linux machine that way. But there was a reason for the various architectural decisions that the other teams made in constructing "systemd." And, there was a strongly perceived market demand, as seen by the various Linux distro author teams, to adopt it. They didn't do it out of reasons of conspiracy. They did it because they perceived that their customers demanded it. |

Sorry guys, this Systemd is adopted by most distros. This is a sane decision, otherwise, Linux distros would not be in favor of it.
If you are not happy of today's Linux, you can make your own distro or can anytime rewrite another Unix-like operating system. This time, you could make it really GNU, free, and without all those necessary libs for graphical apps; besides, you may remove java, perl, python, mono,... Besides, good luck to compile anything from scratch, since many libs are require ;) This is why people should re-think about X11 and Motif or the ugly simplicity.

Great logic. If something is widespread then it is a good thing. Like plague in middle ages.

I do not like systemd because you do not have the freedom to replace it without messing things.
