Additionally Alan Cox weights in on how *not* to do changes, using GNOME 3 as an example.This is an excerpt from ELCE 2011 kernel development panel with Linu...
Udev was changed to depend on systemd. No good reason for it. So it practically was forced. You can lie all you want, it won’t change reality. SystemD was hyped up by comparing it with the worst implementation of sysV, at a time when no major distro other then fedora even used sysV. And that is not even the tip of the pile of dishonesty.
Just by saying that it is no better then alternatives of the time will get ignorant people like you to yell. That is how strong the hype was around it. How can you even talk about free software when RH can take a core component and make it hard dependant on whatever they want. Just like bluetooth has a hard dependency on PA.
I’m also free to say something sucks, just like you are free to lick their balls.
As someone currently actively supporting two commercial products, one using OpenRC and one using systemd to meet different requirements for different projects
Functionally absolutely the same
Makes it blatantly obvious you have no idea what you’re saying
As someone who wrote an init system for fun and knows how udev and practically everything else associated with bringing a modern computer to a fully functional state (including network mounts, if that is your nitpick) works, i can not know what you are nitpicking about without you saying it. Not that someone who is actively supporting two commercial products to meet different requirements would have any idea what i am saying.
PS It’s all simple really, just that it seems magic to people without curiosity.

Use Devuan and quit whining.
It always was about feelings with you fanboys. Pathetic.
PS I wouldn’t mind using systemD, it’s the same as every other. Functionally absolutely the same.
