    systemd nightmare needs to end. Too many broken garbage from malicious actors within the opensource community.

    Just as an experiment, get every distro to have at least 2 or 3 SysVInit / runit / rc.init alternatives, and you will see a MASS Migration back to SysVInit. Bash/shell script init functions were really dead simple and almost unbreakable/hackerproof.

    Systemd really needs to be thrown in the garbage dumps of history so we can finally have a UNIX-like boot back.

      As someone who writes bash scripts, fuck no, this is a terrible language and it shouldn’t be used for anything more complex than sticking two programs together.

      Also, parallelism goes right out of the window.

      Maybe you’d convince me with a real programming language.

        Corpo sabotage of opensource. So many community projects are under the thumb of corpo insiders. It was a “cash-grab” a way to shoehorn and takeover an essential but mostly unchanged and stable Init system. And they shimmed that into everything they could ram it into with no options or alternatives.

      that’s some high ammount of copium from someone that never made a distro
