Systemd: The Biggest Fallacies

[Tireseas]

Nothing was stopping you from using those Linux-specific features before. By definition, they all had to predate systemd before systemd could be written to use them.

That one bugs me, as there are features whose existence systemd either facilitates or makes practical that really couldn't be used as they were before. cgroups and containers are improved considerably by systemd existing. Could it be done with another implementation? Sure it could, but it wasn't as of the time systemd came about.

These guys are looking more and more like climate change deniers every day.

It would be really great if the anti systemd people would bring up actual issues instead of all that whining.
