To any new Linux users, this is a good example of Linux “antivax” mindset.
Actual Linux admins, people who use Linux at scale, people who design things and use Linux to do things disagree.
There is a reason why Redhat, Debian, Ubuntu, and Arch all ship with and recommend systemd as the startup system. ALL as in 100% of large Linux deployments on bare metal use systemd.
If you want to play with startup systems that’s fine there are obscure distros out there for you. Startup system swapping can be a fun hobby.
But don’t be tricked by the very loud but very small Linux “antivaxers” group.
The grand majority of systemd haters have no idea why they hate systemd or what an init system even is, they just know their favorite youtuber told them “systemd bad” and blindly agreed.
No. It does some things right and many things wrong. Difference in priorities, that’s all. Except you often don’t have a choice, because of some of the things Systemd does (intentionally) wrong.
But there is something weird about comparing any start up system to cancer. It was weird when Balmer compared Linux to cancer. It was weird then and it’s weird now.
As someone else in the thread said „Rent Free“. It’s true.
systemd haters are the antivaxxers of the Linux world. There. I’m sure this statement won’t lead to any heated discussion at all.
The UNIX philosophy is “Everything is a file.”
systemd doesn’t follow that, with its binary logs and stuff.
Just part of why I keep going back to FreeBSD.
Systemd ‘haters’ are the people who know better and learned from best-practice.
Systemd ‘haters’ are no more haters than your parents who told you not to eat candy all day were candy haters.

Linux tech types told me Linux windows

Wrong from my view, that is.

‘new standards’ vs ‘dunning-kruger-based decisions you are locked into’. Sure.
Exactly. A very small but VERY disproportionally loud group.
They uninstalled systemd from their computers and installed it on their brains.
Systemd is running rent-free in their heads
What’s systemd? (I use OpenRC btw.)
Perfect example. This person has systemd so much on the brain I actually tagged them as weirdly against systemd some time ago. lol
“This person plays volleyball, he must hate basketball so much.”
No?? In the past you were saying weirdly anti systemd stuff. So much so that I went out of my way to tag you.
More like “this person rants so much against basketball that it’s weird”
There’s nothing weird about being against metastacizing cancer.
But there is something weird about comparing any start up system to cancer. It was weird when Balmer compared Linux to cancer. It was weird then and it’s weird now.
