That took a dive as well in the last edition, unless you have systemd running many features like the top menu fails. Revert back to previous edition and your profile is ruined and you need to start from 0. A clever way mozilla has forced users to abandon their settings and be forced to go with their defaults. By the time you figure out what to disable again … it is bye bye!
All librewolf community are large systemd only distros, it was all OK with them to stick it to non-systemd users. IBM pays good, and money is sweet! FOSS … my w
I don’t think SystemD is bad, it has big advantages over the previous solutions but I do use Alpine quite a bit and SystemD wouldn’t make sense for a distro like that so I definitely prefer software that can runn without it too!
This is the classic reaction that is so empty of content, I am sorry, but systemd can’t keep hiding behind the excuse of being better than sysvinit. Ever since daemontools (decades ago) those who defend systemd keep talking about sysvinit. Out of daemontools many forks or inspired systems were developed. Runit reached the end of development 8 years ago, 0 bugs, 100% of goals met, still works with every distro and kernel flawlessly. s6 makes runit look archaic, and unable to do what s6 can.
Yet systemd’s defense is “it is better than sysvinit, or BSD scripts”.
For proper critique of systemd see the skarnet.org site under the specific thread. As far as I know there is no rational counter argument to what is presented there. If you have such I am sure the authors of skarnet.org would publish it, it is how s6 got better and better.
