About the true purpose of systemd

I've been involved with , , and , ...

I've met @pid_eins and other prominent figures behind closed doors

I can confirm from first-hand experience that systemd is indeed a conspiracy to make better operating systems with Linux

The purpose of a Systemd is what it does 😉🤷‍♂️

@sonny Systemd is an excellent operating system. The only thing it still needs is a good init system 🤣😂🤣😂

So monopoly equals better?

Imagine if people felt the same way about cars... We'd all be driving Trabant.

This analogy is completely broken.

There is no market for init systems (or whatever systemd is)

systemd isn't an end product

nothing competes with systemd

But also and this is more personal :)

1. Cars suck
2. I wouldn't mind if everybody drove the same safe car
3. I don't have a driving license

@sonny @pid_eins it's crazy how once we realise we all have the same goal we want to work together more. Kinda suspicious if you ask me :blobfox3cevil:​

@sonny @pid_eins I can't believe systemd would do this, I'm in shock.

Well, is a single big software to rule many aspects of a Linux distribution a good thing ?
I can't understand how it could be a great idea.
We tend to forget the "do one thing and do it well!"
I have nothing against systemd and its purposes but I would prefer simplicity over too many functionalities.

@cenbe @sonny @pid_eins Thanks for reminding about Plan9.
I was thinking of trying it out but was lost in its history and the fact that neither its forks made it to the market AFAIK (I can be wrong). But in our era, is it worth trying and what are its real use cases actually ?

@sonny @pid_eins I still think using makefiles for init script ordering, state changes etc is more elegant 8)
