@Art,

Thank you for sharing your perspective. I understand that the terminology around Linux can be a point of debate. I’ll ensure to use the term ‘Linux‘ in future references.

If you have any more insights or preferences, feel free to let me know. Your feedback is appreciated!

That is an inane sobriquet created in bad faith by troublemaker Stallman and should not be uttered by reasonable people.

Hi, at the (very dark) light of the past 3 years, I’d say with a quite high probability that it’s a big blocking/snooping hole P.O.S. – and I also remember having read some time ago that it is supposed to “revolutionize” the /home directory in a few versions from here :(((

I think it’s time to make the move to Devuan – it stays behind Debian in terms of package novelty but it is a low price to pay not to use shytstemd anymore.

I find it way too amusing, how you repeatedly say that Lennart Poettering developed systemd instead of MS. One year later the exact same guy (Leonard Poettering) works for MS.
Coincidence? I think not.

It wants to control every process and every application with the distro. It is like a black hole that sucks in anything and everything that comes within its gravity field.

SystemD violates big time one of the basic tenets of *nix – ‘Do one thing and do it well. Not only does systemd do hundreds of tasks (and wants more) but it does not do them that well.

How can it be more efficient if, for every activity connected with it, we need a special program?

If I did not know that systemD was developed by Leonard Poettering of Red Hat, I would swear that it was designed by Steve Balmer and developed by Microsoft to destroy Linux.
