The system V init approach did the job fine for a couple of decades—even if the actual service definitions were a glorified shell switch statement as you insinuate.

Canonical did their upstart thing for a couple of years that wasn’t too bad to use, personally I’m glad they ended up switching to systemd though.

s6, dinit, openrc, BSD rc, are all alternative init systems with their own method of doing thing

If you’re writing bash scripts you’re basically replicating a lot of the functionality of systemd

You have that backwards

If you’re writing Systemd profile profile profiles you’re replicating shell scripts but with a lot of spongey unknown “come on, pumpkin” cancer code that you’re only sure will do what you think because you don’t know what suddenly capriciously changed in enterfuckingprize code and boy is your remote server screwed. Fuck me if I need to actually rely on something starting.

No one said sysV is awesome. It’s built to best practice and it does what it does really well, but that’s not a lot. But it does it well. Oh, the days Systemd has ruined trying to work half as well as ; well fuck, every alternative.

The days Systemd doesn’t ruin, it’s the other cancer, network manager and ‘consistent’ naming. And devices that don’t come up. And devices that don’t actually assign a fucking static goddamned address. #youHadOneJob

Spot the parts of enterprise Linux that runs like shit and barely does the same thing twice on two identical adjacent boxes, and I’ll show you some whiz kid who shat out some cancer and went to go work at Microsoft.

So. Anyway, because the reliable stuff came before Systemd’s change-for-lulz setup, you had them in the wrong order unless you have a time machine.

Xenia is about as old as Tux, and was proposed as a Linux mascot back in the 90’s

She’s actually been parr of quite a few memes on here, so, now you’re in it too :)

Well you shouldn’t. Take it off immediately, systemd or the sticker, either will do. She’s stated her position on the matter, and you should respect that!

(/jk I’m not actually having a go at you, stickers are cool, and systemd is pervasive)

I mean, if you want an init (e.g. embedded linux), sysd may not be way you want. On desktops, tho, you ultimately end up hacking together more or less the same functionality with sticks’n’shit. And yes, sysd timers are more readable than crontab, sue me.

Edit: the point is, sysd is not (only) an init.

It’s fine, people will whine about anything.

Yeah, more like “cringe deez nuts.”

How is furry an opinion?
And how can an opinion be wrong?
You can not say someone is wrong hating someone/something, if they do it, it is a fact and if not, it is a lie. And you have no way proving that.
And lastly, thinking that most people use PulseAudio is a supposed fact, which can be true or false, but is not an opinion neither.

But you can definitely say that your opinion is that furry as a culture is wrong, that hating systemd is wrong and that thinking anyone still uses PulseAudio is wrong.

I must add, you have strange opinions…
