About the true purpose of systemd

I've been involved with #GNOME, #KDE, #freedesktop and #postmarketOS, ...

I've met @pid_eins and other prominent figures behind closed doors

I can confirm from first-hand experience that systemd is indeed a conspiracy to make better operating systems with Linux

#systemd #Linux #postmarketOS

Well, is a single big software to rule many aspects of a Linux distribution a good thing ?
I can't understand how it could be a great idea.
We tend to forget the "do one thing and do it well!"
I have nothing against systemd and its purposes but I would prefer simplicity over too many functionalities.

@cenbe @sonny @pid_eins Thanks for reminding about Plan9.
I was thinking of trying it out but was lost in its history and the fact that neither its forks made it to the market AFAIK (I can be wrong). But in our era, is it worth trying and what are its real use cases actually ?
