But it is about choice: your choice of which version of Linux and which variation of Firefox you’re going to use.
Silly OP.
People argue that slavery is a choice.
Systemd is great fuck the haters
Systemd is on my list of “meh, who cares, it works”. Plus, it’s been so long since I messed around with initd that I don’t think I’m able to do it without relearning stuff.
I’m not a big fan of systemd messing with dns, but I’ll survive. I’m sure I can do some fidgeting and disable it, relying on editing /etc/resol.conf like I used to, but it works well enough now that I can’t be arsed.
except for Systemd-Resolve.
Please just let me resolve wildcards. I don’t want to install dnsmasq just for this.
what’s not to like? seriously, what’s not systemd these days? it just absorbs coreutils like a cancer.
People bitch about systemd? Don’t pretty much all the major distros use it?
Yes, most of them do, and that is why I complain about it. I want to have the choice. I don’t mind if other people use systemd; I just don’t want it forced one me.
Gentoo, Arch, and their derivatives still exist. How important is a legacy init system to you?
FYI: Arch uses systemd.
I don’t mind systemd so I haven’t tried to rip it out, but I can’t imagine trying to replace it with a legacy init system is going to be smooth sailing.
Probably true, but Arch being what it is, there’s still the option to install sysvinit or whatever. The question remains - how important is NOT using systemd to the admin in question?
Yes, and that’s the FUNNY part about it! Lennart went against the UNIX philosophy and is hated for it, but so did Linus Torvalds with the monolithic kernel, and Richard Stallman with Emacs.
And snaps.
Go fuck yourself, Canonical. When I install a package through a package manager, I want the package I requested—not the bullshit you tried to force down my throat.
the other difference between snap and systemd is that there are clearly better alternatives to snap that are technologically superior in practically every sense and not tied to some company that tries to sell out.
