hating systemd -
@puppygirlhornypost2 honest question, why is there all the hate for systemd?
(I'm just a creature that uses linux and in just using it I've never had much of an issue, does openrc and the like do it's job better?)
-
@[email protected] mainly? systemd makes a lot of opinionated decisions that require the linux kernel and other places to account for. Consider the fact that systemd left EFI variables in read/write, and that they were mounted so users could accidentally brick their stuff if running
rm -rf /(yes a very important use case, but the point still remains that you shouldn't expose something like efivars as read/write, it should be a deliberate thing to mount it as read write). there's a lot more just... idk i feel like systemd does to an extent undermine the entire ecosystem with certain things -
@[email protected] it's also like this all encompassing unifying thing. so you get things like "systemd-bootd, systemd-networkd" and it just... it rubs a lot of people the wrong way because usually we have separate projects for that sort of thing. Take dbus for instance, we have dbus. There's not "systemd-busd" (well actually there might be but i swear to god). you do not need to be running a systemd system to use dbus. a lot of it just feels intertwined for no real reason...

@[email protected] https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-apps/systemd-utils like you have people who spend all this time trying to split everything from systemd

undermine the entire ecosystem with certain things
the issue is that the ecosystem in question is, for lack of a better word, utter dogshit
a bunch of junky hacky programs held together by shell duct tape, all in hopes that no edge case rears its ugly head (and by edge case i mean stuff like "having sub-minute scheduling" lol)
systemd solves the service and system configuration messes, and it does that reasonably well, by the very least far better than the usual unix contraptions
