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

in reply to Sonny • • •So monopoly equals better?
Imagine if people felt the same way about cars... We'd all be driving Trabant.

in reply to Leeloo • • •This analogy is completely broken.
There is no market for init systems (or whatever systemd is)
systemd isn't an end product
nothing competes with systemd
But also and this is more personal :)
1. Cars suck
2. I wouldn't mind if everybody drove the same safe car
3. I don't have a driving license

in reply to Sonny • • •I would define "better" as more stable, predictable, fast with minimal disk and hardware, easily installed quickly and customized, easy to troubleshoot, secure, compatible with the tools I've been using for decades.
I get all this out of a systemd free OS, so this is a fix for a problem I never had.
Although, now I DO have problems because many packages are now dependent on systemd. Why? Why the desperation to drop support for other init systems?
