I understand the concerns about blobbification of all these system into a technical monolith that you have to swallow whole or not at all, that you can’t really break down into it’s individual components. So if the thing you need isn’t in there, you have to chuck the entire systemd thing and switch back to SysV
However, I quite like systemd so far… except for having dozens of processes, that’s not super chill to have so much stuff I don’t use running but OK, convenient.
At least it’s not like Wayland, that we have been forced into while it was barely working, and still today it’s only kinda working with lot lot lots of non-working stuff and mega jank stuff while now X11 is rotting and dying. So we’re stuck with half-dead half-lobotomized graphics system… I hope they eventually get their shit together and I wish they would have made wayland working before killing X11.
And Linux has quite some pragmatic people as well, first of all Linus Torvalds himself, who has kind of a down-to-earth approach towards ideology.
I’ve not yet talked to a SystemD hater in real life, that seems to be more predominant between random people on the internet. And I myself prefer writing SystemD unit files over what I had to do before that was a thing.
