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

@sonny @pid_eins i dont mind choice. but making software hard depended on systemd is not helpful long term. as long as openrc is fully supported in postmarket os i dont mind systemd support. i do mind gnome and plasma betting everything on horse. and this horse has up and downsides. even though some people prefer to ignore the downsides in a fanatic frenzy

@grillchen @sonny @pid_eins I wouldn't mind it at all if it was *just* an init system. But taking over timesync, network, cronjobs, file management, dns resolving is too much imo. What's wrong with using simple ntp ? I use OpenRC with Debian because a) I want a choice and b) not having my whole system depend on a program that should only manage services. And hard dependencies on systemd seems like "my way is the only way" kinda solution.
