>>105722990 (OP)i find systemd pretty convenient
it's a lot easier to write a good systemd unit file than it is to write a good sysv init script
systemd (like Wayland) is obviously part of the Red Hat/IBM strategy to bring Linux under total corporate control, starve other open-source unix-like OSes of resources, and make truly grassroots/community-driven Linux distros fewer in number and more difficult to maintain, but the fact is, systemd already won
"enterprise" Linux is the future, and we're already seeing the plan unfold, for example by killing CentOS, killing Xorg slowly, and making the RHEL source more difficult to get
i'm sure we'll see legal techniques employed to further defang the GPL, like what happened with grsecurity
