Systemd

I just found this: 0pointer.de/public/gnomeasia2014.pdf

I'm trying to tell whether this is legit or just satire.

Can't wait for your next blog post

yes, systemd already covers a million things, and they're not stopping
it's terrible

What's the point of this shitpost?

I wondered the same when I saw this thread.

yet another reason to use slackware

>its just a init replacement guys
>trust us we dont want to take over linux ;^)

fuck pottering

...

> Never fnished, never complete,
Thats systemd for you.

>its needed to decrease boot times by 5 seconds

>if you don't support systemd in any way you are a misogynist

soon systemD will have its own kernel, x-window system and desktop environment, i wished they would hurry up so they will leave linux alone

So....
They're making their own OS, shitty as it might be
What is the problem here?
Because they use a kernel and utilities from third parties?
I mean, I too think systemd is shit, but let them play their game, it doesn't affect me really

If they will push it too much then linux will escape. They want it all.

Okay they wanna make their own OS, but why do they have to phagocytize my OS, namely Linux?

It does affect us, that shit has infested our ecosystem.

i agree

ITT: A bunch of neckbeared amateur linux end users bemoan systemD.

Meanwhile Professional sysadmin's can appreciate the benefits it brings and get on with earning a most healthy living actually using linux, rather than basement dwelling.

Linux is the kernel only, everything that's bolted on/under it are something else.

actually it should be "over it" not "under" when referring to the kernel

you sound like a butthurt neckbeared amateur linux end user user. thankfully some of us are professional system administrators.

>Meanwhile Professional sysadmin's can appreciate the benefits it brings
Like crashing without possibility of a clean reboot if any User types an empty systemd-notify string.
Must be really hard to remember such advanced engineering principles such as checking if a string is greater than zero and handling it if that is the case.

>no technical arguments
>ad hominem
Just as expected.

au contraire, i do this shit for a living.

Pro sysadmin here, I'm recommending all my former customers migrate to FreeBSD. The company I work for is migrating to Windows Server. Everyone is running away from Linux because of systemd. Feels Batman.

Users should not be able to do this if the system is secured correctly. This is what a real sysadmin does in real life BTW.

Good luck running any openstack on freeBSD. this place reeks of amateurs.

Maybe, but another thing sysadmins do is make no assumptions. "This will never be exploited" is not a reasonable thing to say.

>the systemd Jews are trying to take away my freedumbs!!!1
Don't you get tired of this?

why would anyone migrate to windows server becuase of systemD? what a complete load of shit. You are clearly making this up

Systemd seems to be trying to go under the kernel in some areas.

>What is Jelastic?
>What is Flexiant?
>What is OnApp?
Fuck off.

Because it broke compatibility with a shitton of scripts and routines we had, because of instability problems, and then because we don't get to decide what's replacing what, management does, and they signed off with Microsoft. As I already said, I'd have put FreeBSD in its place.

"Change costs, and big change costs big
There's a reason why sysadmins in large organizations are routinely among systemd's biggest detractors.

Downtime is expensive in terms of both time and money. So is re-training. So is rewriting gigabytes of artificially-obsoleted documentation. Add them all up, factor in the associated opportunity costs, multiply by a planet's worth of installs, and before you know it, the cost to the global economy associated with systemd deployment reaches into the billions (or thousands of millions, if you prefer) of dollars/euros.

And for what exactly?

Even if systemd were a demonstrably superior technology (which it isn't), adequately spec'ed (which it isn't) elegantly designed (which it isn't), well-coded (which it isn't), properly documented (which it isn't),or developed by a responsive and responsible community with a history of delivering robust and reliable software (*cough*pulseaudio*cough*), systemd would still be at best problematic, for one simple reason: it's insanely expensive to implement, particularly given the fact that it doesn't solve any actual problem."

How's your first day on Cred Forums?

It doesn't cost anything to switch to systemd and it has a compatability layer to continue sysv script usage.

Calling you on your bullshit, I feel sorry for anyone that listens to your shit recommendations.

>It doesn't cost anything to switch to systemd

I don't know why you're talking about something you obviously don't understand and, to make matters worst, in order to defend something that's prejudicial for you... unless it isn't because you don't use Linux and you're just an M$ shill.

I understand it perfectly, you are just inflating issues and flat out lying.

HAHAHAHAHA

I'll open this link right now, this is much better than any corporate thread (let's name it, GAFAM/NATU threads)

It saddens me even more because these were quality posts in a YouTube thread which would belong to Cred Forums, and make both places better.

What?

>It doesn't cost anything to switch to systemd and it has a compatability layer to continue sysv script usage.

To be fair, at some point that layer goes out the door. We're not going to let the luddites have their stupid compatibility layer indefinitely.

As a professional sys admin (my team is part of the eCommerce arm for a US wireless telco, we support ~3000 bare metal systems, 85% RHEL 6 and 15% Solaris, and ~500 VMs, all RHEL 6, across 4 data centers in 3 states.) I have done my best to avoid it, my team has done our best to avoid it, and our management has done their best to determine an upgrade path. At this time, it's mostly looking like we'll be sitting on RHEL 6 for some time.
Why?
- logging - centralized logging with plain text logs means that if network fails & your host crashes you still have locally readable plain text logs. Having journald crash (or even worse, having PID 1 crash & uncleanly take down journald thus corrupting the logs) means incomplete (at best) or completely corrupted logs
- login management - our method of user management and permissions does not currently work with systemd. To be fair, this is developed in house, so the blame is not wholly on systemd. On the other hand, it's fully portable and works across Linux (RHEL 6 or earlier, Ubuntu 14.04 provided it's headless, Suse prior to v12), Solaris (5.10), HP-UX, & AIX.
- unit files - all of the people in my team and the majority of admins in the company have been writing scripts for years. Some before the release of SysV. This means that reading, editing, & writing init scripts isn't difficult. Until documentation actually started improving a few years ago, it was leaps & bounds better than writing a unit file. Now, it's still easier because of familiarity.

My opinion: systemd is a fine solution for desktops/laptops/workstations but has NO reason to live on servers. Having improved ACPI functionality & better removable device handling is a solid desire on laptops/desktops. Improved boot times as well.
On a server I want consistency and rock solid reporting and performance. If an aspect fails, I don't want to see it bind up other parts of the system (if it can be helped. A KP is a KP after all).

You can still use a system logger with journald.
Stopped reading after that.

A secured system is likely still going to have users. Any user with a shell can run an empty systemd-notify and crash systemd. It does not require root or any other escalation.
See Andrew Ayer's post about it.

Shall I repost everything after it so you can actually read it?
I'm fully aware you can use central logging with journald. That does not solve ANY of the issues I make after that point, including having journald fail or PID crash and take journald with it.
You can be glib all you want, but you asked for a citation and this is as close as it gets. I have done my best to lay out why my team of admins (and the company we're a part of) doesn't want systemd on our servers.
Take it or leave it
>inb4 "leave it"

>spam
It's obvious you don't actually 'get' it here. Systemd is a decisions that's above your paygrade and above your company's paygrade. You're going to get it whether you like it or not. It's the law of the land, effectively, and since there are effectively no alternatives you're going to deal with it however you have to.

I don't want to bag on your team, I'm sure they'll get along just fine, but my staff is prepping for this transition and we're going to be very ready when the time comes. Yes that means investment into training but so does anything else.

Another fun thing to note. When meeting with our RedHat rep around the release of 7.0 I asked if rsyslog or syslogd would be running by default to offload from journald and provide (by default) plain text logging, like what Debian ended up doing. He literally laughed and said that it would be a step back. In his eyes RedHat saw no need to do so.
This had changed by 7.2 where rsyslog was enabled by default.

Considering we're a company that has fingers in multiple pies from a computing standpoint (not just Linux), no. Talk has included migration of key apps to AIX, HP-UX, or back to Solaris depending on scale. When discussion about full containerized solutions crop up, it leans to Alpine containers in a Docker environment due to low overhead.
If you think Linux with systemd is the only path forward in enterprise computing, then you have a very narrow focus.

>Users should not be able to do this if the system is secured correctly.
Quite right. Systemd is a security issue in this case. Any user can just type:
while true; do NOTIFY_SOCKET=/run/systemd/notify systemd-notify ""; done
And the system will no longer be able to reboot, restart services or similar.

>If you think Linux with systemd is the only path forward in enterprise computing, then you have a very narrow focus.
This. My company only has a hundred or so servers but we've been in the process of transitioning to Solaris since the systemd ramifications became clear to us. You are exactly right. It's sunk costs as far as the eye can see and there's really no reason for it aside from misguided attempts at re-inventing the car instead of fixing the ignition.

>systemd reintroducing the forkbomb in 2016

Ignoring for the moment the various technical problems with systemd, I have my suspicions that its provenance and scope are cause for an alarm.

Systemd comes from Red Hat. Red Hat, in the Linux world, is the company with the largest ties to the US government and various state security organizations around the world -- including the NSA. The US government (DoD) is Red Hat's biggest customer. Red Hat also happens to be systemd creator's, Lennart Poettering, employer.

The Linux kernel, I believe, is clean. As long as Linus lives, you're not going to subvert the kernel. Let's just assume that is true for the sake of argument. If you can't get into the kernel, what is your next option? You need something low level (PID 1?), ubiquitous, and vast in scope and complexity.

This describes systemd perfectly. It was almost like it was designed to touch as much of a Linux system as possible. It has hooks into some many different subsystems and APIs that it's almost impossible to build a modern distro with current software without pulling in systemd as a dependency. This happened almost overnight, and I think there are malicious forces at work here.

We must remember Heartbleed security exploit. Heartbleed appeared to be an innocent mistake, and it was a tiny typo in one line of a C program. If it's possible to do that much damage with a tiny little error, imagine when you have an attack surface as wide as systemd, written in a language like C that is almost designed to produce security holes when not written absolutely perfectly--and humans are not absolutely perfect programmers.

Systemd is dangerous. It's too big to be audited as quickly as it's developed. Its complexity adds as much attack surface to a Linux system as the kernel itself. We can't get away from these facts. Shitfighting about init systems is a waste of our time. Systemd is horrible because of where it comes from and how complex it is. Backdoors will be hidden in it.

>Honest Question
Are people unironically defending systemd on Cred Forums or is there a Redhat paid shilling operation that is going on? I'm just floored that anyone can look at all these problems associated with a huge revamp to something that wasn't really broken to begin with and conclude that it's all fine.

I've been in the business for 14 years and I have never seen Redhat step in it this hard any other time in my professional life. This is just jaw-dropping incompetence and bull-headed dedication to a foolish cause. If they're serious about staying in business they need to torpedo this ASAP.

A friend of mine said the slides looked like Aragon.

As an admin: I see no reason for systemd on a server.
As a day to day Linux user, I can see WHY people would use it as a desktop/laptop init. I personally don't, but that's all a matter of choice.
I don't feel like it's shilling. People like the choices they make, and if systemd has improved the Linux experience for them, cool. Glad to hear it.
At this point, since systemd is default in Debian (and downstream), RHEL (and downstream), and Arch (and downstream) I think a lot of people are finding that it works for them.

And, again, if it works for you and allows you to use Linux the way you want: great.
I am, however, at a loss for people who assume that because someone doesn't like systemd that they don't know what they're doing.

This is shilling. Redhat invented it, Arch and Debian rammed it through despite unpopularity among the devs, to say nothing of the userbase. It was a big deal and now that Gnome and others are shifting into systemd dependence the so-called choice culture is in long-term jeopardy.

Thanks, this is very informative

This. Fuck man I had no idea how bad systemd actually was. I guess I had been reading shill threads since it came about but I wasn't aware of any of this.

Yeah, there's been massive shilling for systemD.
forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=120652
Note that professional shilling is rather sophisticated, not just simply arguing in favor of something.
The way to combat shilling is to clearly explain the truth. The article i linked above is a good example. That way everyone can tell whether something is a good or a bad idea, without relying on personal opinions of others.

Give me one (ONE) real reason to remove systemd from my ubuntu system.

>ini style configuration

Is there any way to escape systemd without reinstalling my operating system?

This is what happens when you get paid professionals to do the job instead of some lonely neckbeard.

Based Red hat

Why do you want to "escape" systemd?

Sure thing, bud.

See I was not happy, but content with the stuff listed in But replacing fucking libc and shoving your grimy god-damned mitts into every compiled program?
I have had enough

What do you expect? Red Hat is the Microsoft of the Linux world.

What do you care? Are you the police?

Depends, what operating system and version is it?

Arch; I've heard of ways to disable systemd on Arch, but I want to make sure it won't break anything I have set up

see without-systemd.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

I've read that before, but like I said, I want to make sure it doesn't break my services too bad, or at least see what services will get screwed up; for example, I use connman for wifi, and I want to make sure I can use it, or something else, still
Thanks though, user

No, that's just Debian being retarded. Check out an old version of the same script:

sources.debian.net/src/openssh/1:3.4p1-1.woody.3/debian/init/

Don't compare your turd to another and feel triumphant because yours looks shinier.

>OpenBSD

>content with the stuff listed in

>But replacing fucking libc and shoving your grimy god-damned mitts into every compiled program?
wut?

Why do you care?

Yes, I see the posts I made. Thanks.

>OpenBSD has only one init system while Linux has many
Not true at all. runit runs on OpenBSD, possibly others but I've never tried.

>wut?
Things are compiled with libc
Using systemd's libc goes beyond locking down a lot of GNU/Linux's important functions; it makes it so that every GNU/Linux program compiled with systemd's libc will possibly require it, tying down far more programs to it in a way that I find unacceptable

I may be wrong on my understanding of this, though, so feel free to correct me

>Somehow this is better

Do not reply to trolls.

It fits in one screen.

>There's no actual argument against systemd
It's a move to supplant the Linux ecosystem in order to unify it and remove your ability to make sensible choices that work for you in order to be able to force the One True Red Hat Way on you.
Poettering isn't even shy about admitting this. He even made it clear that he would deliberately make it harder for people to write non-systemd alternatives for the various "unifications" in order to dissuade people from doing so in his Gentle Push post back in 2010. (and was rather infamous for similar politicking over at the Linux Kernel over udev before he had even started on systemd)

Now there is one singular semi-bright side to this distro-destroying and that is that it'll probably unify the package managers/binary blob handling to allow for much easier cross-compatability for packages between distros. (if it fails to do even this with all the red hat money being shoved down it's throat then it'll really be a complete failure of a project and all the bad blood over it will have been for naught)

>Give me one (ONE) real reason to remove systemd from my ubuntu system.
Well if you're running a server where user's have any kind of command access they can, as of this moment, effectively forkbomb you with one command that does not require root.

Runit is available in OpenBSD ports. Ports are not supported

>systemd's libc will possibly require it,
citation please?

This is a good post.

arch linux with OpenRC :^)

>Citation
It's my own personal conjecture based on my understanding
I assume systemd libc exists because there's something that they need that's incompatible with glibc; therefore, anything compiled with systemd libc that depends on systemd extensions will require it to be linked with only systemd libc, as far as I'm aware

>It's a move to supplant the Linux ecosystem in order to unify it
I'm okay with this

>Muh redhat
Don't fool yourself. Redhat is the only company to feed Linus and Linux community with GNOME and GNOME based applications, LXC, Wayland etc. I don't see other companies developed Linux as much.

>Well if you're running a server where user's have any kind of command access they can
Yes, found it:
> user's have any kind of command access they can
Not systemds fault you enabled a user to run a forkbomb. Your init system won't babysit your retardation

Well your personal conjecture is baseless

>Ports are not supported
Nice moving the goalposts, nigger.

You said OpenBSD didn't have more than 1 init system. You didn't say anything about support.

I TOLD YOU IT WAS A FUCKING TROLL YOU WERE WARNED

It doesn't. Is it even in their actual repo, wtf?

>Not systemds fault you enabled a user to run a forkbomb.
Actually it is.
It's a PID1 crashing bug (one of many imo) in systemd's notify that is available to anyone with user access.
If someone can type even "ls" on your server they can get the same result as a forkbomb used to, making it impossible for you to do a clean reboot or stop/start daemons and other systemd "services".

>GNOME and GNOME based applications
gnome isn't a crucial part of linux, there are plenty of alternatives.

here's a mirror of the linux repo:
github.com/torvalds/linux
please tell me where i can find x.org, systemD, etc.

Linux is just a kernel.

GNOME is a crucial part of GNU/Linux because it's part of GNU.

With Linux, kernel and userland are different and maintained by different people, newfag. OpeBSD or FreeBSD maintain everythiing on their repo.

Ubuntu and Fedora are the same operating system. Free and OpenBSD are not. Lurk more

Again, if you have the permission to run a recursive function, why would anyone stop you from doing so?

Yeah, and most of them are maintained by Red Hat.
Heck, Most of Linux is developed and maintained by Red Hat these days.

>Free and OpenBSD are not. Lurk more
please show me where exactly i implied they were.

THIS! This is prime meme material.

We've known that the binary log was fucking retarded, but THE SERVICE MANAGER FUCKING BOMBS THE SYSTEM? This is comedy gold! Jesus H. Hairy Christ who designs this shit? The fucking init system plus service manager plus userland bus plus networking utilities plus boot utilities plus system utilities plus logging can't even give us the courtesy of a reach-around while it's fucking us up the ass!

>Again, if you have the permission to run a recursive function
It's not a recursive function, the forkbomb wording is just a simile.
It's a full-on crash caused by systemd not error-handling for empty strings received from systemd-notify.

OpenBSD maintains its own version of X and init. Linus doesn't maintain X or any init.

Even better it's 2+ years old.

I have argued this shit for two years and the fucking fanbois still will not take it seriously. Good luck in getting them to actually put their thinking caps on and realize that code surface = increase in exploitable areas.

It is the reason I refuse to upgrade to Debian 8. I will probably bake my own install going foward or possibly just say fuckit and move to FreeBSD. Fuck systemd, fuck that pasty attention-whore lennart, and fuck Red Hat for giving everyone the finger up our collective pussy.

That's fucking hilarious.

Yes, and I don't think you would like Canonical very much, kool kids don't like companies amirite?

Connman worked without any manual input with openrc on gentoo when I tried (last was about 6 months ago, now I'm just plugged directly so I don't have to deal with either networkmanager or connman which I feel are both insufficient).

Tell me bout that Hurd

and yet you ignore that there are and have been better replacements for decades. This "the common shit is shit, this is better than shit" argument is a strawman, the problem isn't the shit, the problem is getting the distros to not use shit to begin with. Your argument is a moot point.

This, actually

Here's a classic Pottering quote.
>The Linux community is dominated by western, white, straight, males in their 30s and 40s these days. I perfectly fit in that pattern, and the rubbish they pour over me is awful. I can only imagine that it is much worse for members of minorities, or people from different cultural backgrounds, in particular ones where losing face is a major issue.

>Runs out of tech argument

FUCKING

Logical fallacy. A comes with B, A is not a part of B, you hate A, so you MUST hate B.

Wrong. A(systemd) and B(linux kernel) are supposedly separate - or are systemd proponents going to contradict themselves on this one?

Are you from Cred Forums?

I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, systemd/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, systemd plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning systemd system made useful by the systemd corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of systemd every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of systemd which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically systemd, developed by Red Hat.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the systemd operating system: the whole system is basically systemd with Linux added, or systemd/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of systemd/Linux!

For one it's running unsafe code in PID1, which all Linux processes branch from, and isn't even authorizing it.
It's just a cavalcade of bad design and Not Invented Here theology. The whole shitshow with binary logging for an instance of the latter.

systemd/urmum is probably the best.

You sound frustrated.

remember the systemd backdoor scandal?

You need to have proper authorization to run any code

You sound poottering.

>LP as RMS
>both create something, then tries to co-opt something use using the original something he created
Somehow, the irony is not funny.

PCLinuxOS

Actually no, see the unix socket message with systemd-notify bug.
It sends code to systemd running at PID1 which it runs the same regardless if the sender is root or a regular user.
It crashing is a relatively minor issue compared to it running user-sent shit in PID1.

Systemd latched onto Linux though
Linux latched onto GNU, though it's not part of GNU still

REKT

Feels good to be a winfag. My OS is spying on me all the time, but at least they're honest about it and the developers themselves aren't constantly fagging out about social justice. I completely expect that shit from marketing and human resources, but from a lead dev? Fucking hell that's a bridge too far.

TrueOS

If you're running Arch or Centos you have to put it in a while loop like this code:
Not that your screen is showing much since systemd crashing stops the things it ties into like allowing you to start/stop daemons and shutting down/rebooting.

Seems reasonable to me? Doesn't look like satire

>responding to lennart poettering's designated cock slurper

>its just a init replacement guys
said nobody ever

all the criticisms people have for systemd seem to be based around the misguided assumption that it's an init system and not an OS.

>my OS
If it's your OS then why are you using systemd?

Your OS doesn't include slideshows that look like Louis Aragon, though.

>I may be wrong on my understanding of this, though, so feel free to correct me
You are aware that the systemd-libc thing was posted on april 1st and is dripping with blatantly obvious satire from head to toe?

so...we should have lots of red-white-black posters with hammers and banners proclaiming "Down with the inits! Proclaim the right way of thought with systemd! Bring joy to the proletariat life with systemd units!"

Because I want to...

Then why are you complaining about systemd phagocytizing your OS?

I'm sorry user, but by definition any distro that locks itself into systemd is then irrelevant. :^)

systemd is fully supported by Gentoo as a first-class citizen

>being this butthurt

See again

Sorry user by definition any distro that doesn't have systemd support is irrelevant :^^)

I made a gif for you showing the bug not working.

At least Gentoo has a choice in using systemd. Isn't choice and freedom great? Unlike lesser distros that have no option. You use what the lazy dev wants.

According to the systemd shills, Gentoo uses systemd even though you have to manually install it as by default it uses something else. Yet Debian doesn't use runit even though the same reasoning applies.

The doublethink is pretty entertaining.

I love how anti-systemd shills have to make up fake bugs to justify their hate and jealousy for the cutting-edge in Linux init technology.

Nice. Linux is finally getting unified.

You can ask for bleach in the nearest superstore

>Still looking for ONE (O N E) real reason to uninstall systemd from my system
I can't really argue in good faith in favor of Windows, BSD or OSX.

Shame that a good alternative like Linux doesn't exist anymore and that everyone is just running systemd's OS.

Wow. I was expecting denial, but you also gave me a hefty helping of no-fucking-clue. Neat.

I clearly stopped the while loop after I started and stopped sshd.

I deliberately used & and fg so you would see the job management.

journald is setup to drop messages that repeat like that to prevent logs from filling up with garbage.

What?

Linux isn't Unix and I don't really care about Unix. It has nothing to do with daily OS usage.

Systemd is the future. Just like wayland. Neckbar NEETs are irrelevant, Linux will not be snowflake OS anymore

"I don't know and I don't care" != approved.

The first three are irrelevant, but I agree. NEET opinions do not matter. That's why I run Windows.

I run windows as well, under a VM

No init system should allow process 1 to depend on external resources. It should be statically linked, and allocate all memory it needs at startup time.

It needs to be able to keep itself running no matter what happens to the system.

Looking at FreeBSD's init:
ldd: /sbin/init: not a dynamic ELF executable
Statically linked, no external dependancies.
Looking at the source code: svnweb.freebsd.org/base/stable/11/sbin/init/init.c?view=markup

It allocates all the memory it uses at startup, and makes sure to never change memory allocations once it has forked a child process.

Let's look at what systemd depends on:
/$ ldd /sbin/init | wc -l
25

Dozens of external libraries. A whole tangled mess of code hoisted into a critical process.

>approved by RMS
It's funny, but you know he would absolutely vocally loathe it if it wasn't for the fact that Poettering was an anti-white EFF political.

Linus doesn't give a fuck about anything outside the kernel. RMS doesn't give a fuck about whether software is actually any good as long as it superficially respects his freedoms.

Linus doesn't know shit about anything. Not only has every single non-trivial contribution to the kernel been done purely by 3rd parties, but you can't even claim linus is at least good at auditing or asserting the quality of commits. Shittons of commits were denied because of bullshit reasons, while the kernel has critical issues with every release and the average discovery time for a critical bug from the time of cause-commit is over 3 years.

Nevermind the fact that those were paraphrased quotes. Neither of them have any real interest in getting to know systemd in the first place and both of them have expressed that they don't know or care.

It's not real because systemd has no bugs at all, you fucking MS shill.

Leave the good OS out of this freecuck.

>and not an OS
well it sure would have been fucking nice if someone asked me before putting an OS inside the OS I was already perfectly fine with.

I'm glad Windows can't use systemd so Linux stays superior, though.

>tfw systemd shills are becoming a parody of themselves

I wrote .

How is it a parody? I wouldn't say Linux is superior to anything without systemd, but I was referring to Windows.

Seriously, have you already compared Kate and Wordpad? It's like comparing the Leonora Cristina to a cart. That's ridiculous. I'm glad the new Microsoft CEO isn't a total idiot and that he would be going to make Windows somehow usable (by copying all Unix UIs from the past 15 years atm).

* I wouldn't say Linux is superior to anything that doesn't use systemd (and not that it wouldn't be superior ((to Windows)) if there wasn't systemd).

1/10, try to try next time.

>I didn't understand what Leonora Cristina is and I rated him 1/10 that will show him hehehehehe

It brings no benefits. Only basement dwelling paid shill would imagine otherwise.

Aren't these "external libraries" systemd's internal dependencies?

>why sysd is wores than one of the 100 things it replaces.
they "replace" it by reusing the code and integrating the stuff in their system.
