I don’t care. I have run Linux machines since 2001 and systemd is one of the least offensive reinvention of the wheel I have had to deal with. All software is shit one way or another, all that matters is how much effort do I have to spend to find myself dealing with another, unsupported pile of shit.
> What most systemd critics consider "bloat", I consider necessary complexity to solve a complex problem generically.
One compelling argument I’ve seen is that it tries to be too much which violates the Unix philosophy of small tools doing a single thing well.
After years of using it I have to conclude that it’s here to stay and while not perfect it’s good enough I’m not going through the hell of tearing it out.
Usually the same crowd that makes this complaint about systemd also have a strong affinity to Xorg and dislike to Wayland.
Xorg has a print server among many other things. Adhering to the UNIX philosophy is certainly something it does not.
Guaranteed that the replacements would have a combined list at least as bad.
