Wow, I really didn't expect such a discussion. I mean, I don't like systemd, but what I had was a technical problem (along with a bunch of opinions, I'll give you that). I have solved it, and would have before if I could search the web better... As LoneVVolf has thankfully pointed out there's a th

To be fair: There is more to here than "Unix philosophy" and "I hate Lennart". Number 1 is "systemd is a monolithic mess" and reveals a glaring misunderstanding of layered architectures. He is basically claiming that kernel/xorg/browser is one mess since the browser won't start without the kernel

I can't overtly fault the logic in that blog post for the most part. However he does still basically toe the "Unix philosophy" line (Talking about modularity and such.) The thing that bothers me most about this document though is how he dismisses systemd's legitimate, if not unique, features as "p

Some general comments : - Openrc is a replacement for sysv init, not an addition. - openrc has it's own equivalent of .service files, they are simpler then systemd servicefiles - my personal opinion about openrc is that it's not mature enough yet for majority of linux users to replace system
