To claim that SysVInit is the One Way, the Right Way, The Way It has Always Been, is incorrect to start with and exceedingly fatuous.
My understanding is that most of the biggest complaints is that systemd doesn't do things the Unix way - do one thing and do it well. Like I said, I don't have a reason to not use it. There were many other init system replacements in the mix before systemd "won". Upstart was one that Ubuntu was working on. Further, we still have many DEs - KDE, Gnome, xfce, etc. Sometimes it's not about winning. It's having people willing to maintain it. If you go back to the OS/2 vs Windows era, the winner isn't always considered the best but the one that took over. I came to linux from OS/2. I've kept up with OS/2 developments, and there is even a new release by a company called Arca Noae. https://www.arcanoae.com/blue-lion/ I still make use of WinCE on my Workpad Z50 even tho I can run NetBSD on it. Sometimes you just have to go with what works. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
