People still hate systemd

First it caused lots of issues. And didn't deliver anything significant

But the biggest issue has always been architectural, the way systemd keeps absorbing existing projects, and functionality. That keep adding to the more than 1 million lines of C monolith, that can burden progress in the futre

But as long people can replace any of systemd tool, for a tool they like better, all good

Personally I am now using desktop/server distros without systemd, and there is nothing that I miss, everything works... cuda/llama.cpp/steam/docker...

And commands always have to google them anyway, or find in history...



It does seem to go against the Linux spirit of one tool one purpose.
