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 still think using makefiles for init script ordering, state changes etc is more elegant 8)

@etchedpixels @sonny @pid_eins OFC if your System is as brutally simple as @OS1337 that may be viable...

Foe everyone else who just needs to "get s**t done" it works...

@[email protected] @[email protected] EXACTLY THAT! #systemd sadly is a "necessary evil" at worst given the #SysVinit sucked and still sucks... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_AIw9bGogo

@kkarhan @sonny @pid_eins @OS1337 It's surprising how much you can do with make. We used it for an embedded appliance and all sorts of events and system states were all done with "make state". As GNU Make can also do parallel make including sub rules it actually makes a very powerful replacement for init and any other event driven configuration and response.
@etchedpixels @kkarhan @sonny @OS1337 make isnt even good at what make is supposedly good for... There's a reason why so many projects switched to ninja.
