Why did /g/ stop being anti-systemd?

>>
>>107818189
Okay let's begin from the very beginning. In the beginning there was only one init and that was sysVinit. The way sysVinit works is very simple, it just execute shell scripts in order, but this is exactly why people hated it, sysVinit is dumb and doesn't have many of the advanced features that modern sysadmins demand today.
The first real attempt to replace sysVinit came from Canonical in 2006 with Upstart, this was Ubuntu's init system till 2014. Upstart was good on paper but horrible in practice, in fact, Upstart is the reason that Poettering started systemd, so in a way systemd existence is Canonical's fault.
In its infancy, systemd was actually good, people quickly ditched upstart and went with systemd, the last major distro to switch to systemd was Debian, which had a heated debate which resulted in the forking of Debian in 2014 as Devuan.
All this up to now is fine and dandy, but the real problem with systemd is that it is more than just an init system, it has many components which are tightly integrated and inseparable from it, this leads to a situation where if an applications hard depends on one of these components then it becomes impossible to use the application without systemd, and this is basically becomes a vendor lock-in. The best example of this is GNOME having a hard dependency on loginctl, a component of systemd that manages login sessions. I don't really care about GNOME, but imagine in the future, as systemd grows to have more and more components, what if <insert your favorite application> starts to hard depend on one of these components? This is really the crux of why systemd is bad, I see a lot of people hate because it has bugs or bloated or whatever, all these reasons would not be an issue if there was no vendor lock-in because you simply can switch to another init system, but as it stands, systemd is not just an init system, it wants to be the only init system and more than that even.

Gentoo still uses some of systemd components, you can't get rid of it completely, even on OpenRC you still have this package:

>>107817515
>Thats just new /g/. Which all they care about is kde vs gnome or whatever gay shit they shitfling about nowadays
Bullshit, it's just because everything NOW that isn't systemd fucking SUCKS.
I remember greybeards at my job crying about learning systemd unit files. FUCKING UNIT FILES. When I was working on transferring all of my Linux infrastructure from initd to systemd it was honestly a breeze. I fucking yearn to go back to those days. Fuck, take me back to those days. Now everything is BROKEN ASS TERRAFORM AND HELM DOGSHIT EVERYWHERE. Motherfuckers out here crying cause they had to relearn some shit compared to hell that is helm and terraform. I'm glad most of those greybeards that shit on systemd are in old folks homes probably being abused by somali caregivers. THEY GET WHAT THEY FUCKING DESERVE.

Euro censorship really is wild.

Massive censorship (UK is currently considering outright banning X) and then having the nerve to act offended when the Trump admin criticizes their lack of free speech.

"Hate speech isn't free speech"

End of online anonymity by mandatory ID/age verification

No all you need is Homebrew if you want to install stuff to your Mac outside of the App Store. Stuff gets installed under your user so it doesn't need special permissions, even on a local account.

steam machine is a 6 core zen 4 + 8gb 28 cu rdna 3, the 7600 has 32 cus , but is clocked lower than the steam machine, a pc with the parts listed will be within 10% of whatever the steam box is, assuming they are using "off the shelf" silicon,

amd has done custom silicon for valve before, so the performance could be higher or lower depending on if they did something like zen 4 on a 4nm etc.

Windows XP was so great and peak.
All the menus and buttons had great readability and were instantly understood regardless if someone was computer savvy or not.
The whole system was lightweight and lean, stable too.

You paired with Winamp and Office 2003, what more could you need from a personal desktop computer?

Dare I say it was the perfect operating system and there likely will never be another one like it.
