nixCraft 🐧systemd lost the plot a long time ago. they stopped following the Unix philosophy and now they're busy adding nonsense like age verification. Just like Firefox, systemd doesn't understand its core user base. There are plenty of distros without systemd
Expired Token@nixCraft Here systemd evolves an existing schema in userdb to make it consistent across distros. The benefit is that if this stupid law sticks, distros can choose to comply easily. Moreover, it's a totally optional component.
Consistency and the ability to manage a system in a dynamic env with solid dependency management (versus static init.d scripts) is something systemd is brilliant at. I use Linux since 1995 and honestly, I find systemd is a big win.
