This whole anti-systemd thing is so pathetic.
"This whole anti-Microsoft thing is so pathetic. Just use Windows."
We should think about starting a GoFundMe to get the author the mental health support they so clearly need
This post reads like a sysadmin tried to update to the latest Ubuntu LTS at work and systemd caused a C&A team to go aggro because they've never heard of it, and now said sysadmin has to maintain a couple of hundred 12.04 LTS installs by hand, backporting packages from 22.04.2 LTS just so the cutting edge software the userbase requires to do their jobs will run.
The author of this article:
People like that make me like systemd. Honestly, I see no issues and rarely have a problem with systemd. Shitposting about it is all well and good, but being an anti-systemd evangelist is tiring and weird. All these old heads can still just grab the kernel and build their own OS around it with whatever init they want.
Hard to read. At first I thought it was satire.
The last several lines are so insanely unhinged, completely untethered from reality lol.
Also, when this guy learns about X11 vs Wayland he's doing to die of an aneurysm.
Jesus Christ that author is insufferable.
He sounds like a bitter, stagnant, arrogant old man.
Until someone can provide actual, techological disadvantages of systemd over currently available, viable alternatives, this is an irrelevant culture war for me. I feel like some people made hating system-d a core element of their identity and personality.

Basically this these days. It started out with people not liking change, not liking the author and miss-understanding what systemd is trying to do. Then latching onto some aspects of it and refusing to let go or change their minds at all.
The tragedy of systemd talk goes over a bunch of the common reasons (and counter points) about why people don't like systemd as well as the history of init systems.
I don't like so no one else is allowed to like seems to be rampant.
I couldn't understand exactly what the problem is.. and the writing style is infuriating. State your problem, then explain what you want!
This article reads like the writer has untreated mental health issues. Like actually unhinged.
The writer reminds me of Terry Davis, except not as bright.
Betteridge's Law of Headlines: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word 'no'." A check of the ebuild indicates that Firefox on Gentoo doesn't depend on systemd, elogind, udev, or even dbus. It isn't Firefox's fault if a given distro can't configure it and its dependencies properly (well, okay, it sorta is, because its configuration setup is complex and ugly, but . . .)
For $DEITY's sake, if you're going to be anti-systemd, do it for real reasons.

Do I really have to read past this word?
I may agree with him/her, I may not. But that's unreadable.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
