if by 'people' you mean to say that there exists at least two distinct persons who like it then yes, though it is likely to be garfield and his mom

no, I mean people who like collectible card games acknowledge that Artifact is a fun game to play, they just refuse to play it because they hate the monetization

systemd is a mess but it's more good than bad and folks who are still pouting about it need to get their poo poo together

Get systemd to drop resolved and networkd, fix their poo poo tab completion, and make it portable to the BSD family (even with a reduced feature set)

then I might agree

do the needful, lonort

seriously if systemd removed all the feature creep, 99% of complaints would go away

I want a service manager and a cron replacement, not some lovely userspace/os takeover

Distros don't matter as much as they used to. The only distinguishing features any more are the exact commands used for package management and the (rolling or fixed) release cycle.

Unless you're using something Debian based in which case they take every package that comes their way and drag their dicks up and down said package because they like to feel special.

We can thank systemd for a lot of this standardization, despite all the kicking and screaming along the way. Turns out it's not actually all that important what you call /etc/hostname.

thank god (lennart) for this

Nobody's saying shell scripts are better than service files

just that all the other poo poo isn't needed or good, and didn't improve anything. How is resolved with its takeover of /etc/resolv.conf and its hardcoded google DNS servers a good thing? And why should my service manager bundle it?

they fund a lot of people doing useful projects. the renderdoc guy, the spirv-cross guy, keith packard's xorg display leasing work, they paid the moltenvk people a pile of money to make it free, they fund a lot of lunarg's work on the vulkan loader and validation layers, they have valve people working on linux video drivers, etc...

systemd should really sit atop Mach messages and service activation rather than DBus

no they wanted to build a complete dbus daemon into the kernel

but it wasn't any faster than the userspace version. and didn't offer anything new to userspace. it was just dbus. in the kernel. for some reason.

there was a reason, but it's been a while so i dont remember. something with guaranteeing order/locking or something that only the kernel could do reliably

Now please fuck off
I thought Steam Machines where dead but looking at the Steam store I see a couple of them there.

Early last year they purged them from the Steam store so I thought they gave up on the project.

So I thought SteamOS was a console distro without a console.

AF_UNIX sockets suck, but they're already in the kernel and they already work

they would have worked fine for systemd tbh, but instead loonert introduced a big external redhat-developed dependency because ~*ReAsOnS*~, and then tried to stuff it into the kernel
