You had the chance to call it SystemdOSd and somehow you missed it. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
Also why aren’t you including the most important piece, systemd-antivirusd?
I have no idea where the antivirus came from?
OP uses mostly actual examples of Linux functionality.
I have never used nor needed an antivirus on Linux. And I haven’t heard that systemd should have anything special in that area either.Antivirus in the classical sense is an outdated concept anyway.
Nowadays, if you want to protect your system, you need endpoint protection that supervises everything with system-level root access and only allows whitelisted processes to run.
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact Systemd/Linux, or as i’ve recently taken to calling it, Systemd plus Linux.
Here’s the thing. You said “Systemd/Linux is Linux.”
Is it in the same family? Yes. No one’s arguing that.
As someone who is a scientist who studies Linux, I am telling you, specifically…
Eh fuck it, you get the idea
I wonder what Unidan is doing these days.
Probably still playing with his jackdaws.
My favorite systemd moment was when Lennart and Kay shouted “systemdeez nutz!” in the kernel mailing list and then proceeded to systemd all over the place.
rmd -rfd /d --nod-preserved-rootd
You forgot your sudod
Userd is not listed in sudoers.filed. Lennart poettering will now teleport behind you
Nothingd personelld
Do you mean run0(d)?
i always run my shelld as rootd 😎
PulseAudio? We are at Pipewired now!
Absolutely, but I guess the joke is that Pulseaudio was also a project headed by Lennart Poettering.
Pulse was much hated by some, but actually brought substantial improvements to the Linux audio stack at the time.The transition to Pipewire however has been amazingly smooth by comparison. I haven’t detected any downsides, and the switch caused zero issues.
Enjoying the term daemond.
I honestly thought systemd-homed seemed like a pretty sweet idea, last time I heard about it. Of course it was mostly just people screaming how systemd was literally hitler for even suggesting it
Almost every project under systemd umbrella is great, most distros really underutilize it’s capabilities.
Arch adopted systemd-homed and, at the time, I didn’t even know what it did. But it somehow borked my system. I never needed it, it was added for no reason, and like a lot of systemd features, it broke stuff.
I’m still salty about systemd-networkd messing up my network. Or about systemd-resolved taking over my custom DNS.
I have so many systemd packages blacklisted atp, and I don’t even want to. But they keep breaking shit.
This is just an anecdote and it may not be representative of anything, but that’s my 2 cents.
D-Bus Daemond is superceded by systemd-busd
I’d use it if it’s as good as systemd.
Don’t give them ideas.
I had to check the sub, as that was convincing!
Minor notes, then we can begin implementation
Only systemd is in PID1, login, journal, etc are their own PIDs
Surely we’d use pipewired, not pulseaudiod
Graphics and system ram may be unified, so we need a RAMArbitord that is shared between the main kernel and DRM blocks
Hardwaredkilled me. Am I crazy to assume it will be available for bothx86dandx86d-64d?I’ll hold out for riscvd
Since it’s “open source”, we could start experimenting with our own circuitry, implementing the new Booleand logic: ANDD, ORD, XORD, NOTD and all that good stuff. See if we can tinker together a few instruction setsd.
This post is amusing and funny, but personally I love systemd and I was also very fond of PulseAudio that brought massive improvements at the time.
Lennart Poettering is absolutely a hero of Linux and Open Source, and helping Linux as a full blown high quality OS get to where it is today. Stronger and better than ever!!! Contrary to other major operating systems that suffer from serious Enshittification.Remember before systemd the most popular init system was upstart, and upstart was buggy as hell, with very serious bugs that existed for years without being fixed, because the basic design of init systems made it very very hard (impossible). and upstart was arguably the best among the rest. But because Ubuntu also switched to systemd, upstart has been deprecated because Upstart was an Ubuntu project.
systemd was an entirely new design strategy that fixed errors that had been impossible to fix with traditional init systems.
However some still prefer System V init, and I think Gentoo still uses that as default, I suppose because they find it better (easier to use) for tinkerers that micro-control everything.But IMO the design of systemd seems like pure genius, really a solution to a problem that needed fixing.
I’d wager most folks aren’t even sure why systemd was “controversial” and don’t remember a time before it, but are instead just jumping on systemd implementing age as a field.
A lot of the controversy against systemd was pure bullshit.
but are instead just jumping on systemd implementing age as a field.
My guess is you are right, but age verification is not an idea of systemd, implementing it is an attempt at making it possible to fulfill a legal requirement by some countries. It’s stupid, but stupid is now planned to be legally required in some countries.
Yep, turns out technology enthusiasts who have a vested interest in an operating system are an opinionated bunch
Ive been riding SystemD for its faults since the beginning. The age verification was just one more on the pile.
Remember before systemd the most popular init system was upstart,
For 5 years; maybe. Before, during, and since, sysV is still the most popular.
And, as dictionaries, politics and Windows will tell you, what is popular is not always best.
Yes upstart was relatively short lived 8 years:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upstart_(software)
But Ubuntu did put some effort into improving the init process with Upstart, and it was the fastest init system until systemd beat it by being way way better at multi threading.
Ubuntu also massively improved how well Linux worked on laptops, and upstart was part of that effort too.
What is best can be subjective, being the most popular signifies that most people found it to be best.
Gentoo offers systemd and OpenRC, not SysV
OK thanks apparently OpenRC is a further development of Sysvinit, having many similarities.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenRC
Parallel service startup (off by default)
This is probably because it’s still hard to get to work without handcrafting for a particular system, IMO a very telling difference between the old init designs contrary to systemd that handles parallel startups like a champ.
In my experience, booting using single threaded inits (at least in their early stages) actually speeds up the process. The overhead from multithreaded startup on something as simple as an init system can hurt startup performance, especially on older CPUs.
Of course you need a CPU capable of multi threading, which today means any CPU, but then there is no doubt that the multithreaded init process is way faster.
This was thoroughly tested when systemd demonstrated it.
Single threaded init processes have bottlenecks, and a single issue will stall the whole process. Of course systemd only influence boot speed of user space, but the Linux kernel itself is also multithreaded in it’s boot processes today, because it is without a doubt faster.
SystemD itself was fine. Not great but better than what we had and I was happy with what it did.
But then it started to sprawl and take over things it had no business doing.
At this point I am no longer using the Linux kernel, I’m using the SystemD kernel, and as soon as Poettering feels like it he can simply sell the rights to SystemD to a big corpo like Microsoft once everything fully depends on it.
There were pros and cons, I get the annoyance with the binary vs text files.
But systemd booted faster than upstart, despite upstart was made for speed and systemd was made for being robust. The robustness of systemd however made it possible to make the ini process multithreaded and still work flawlessly, where old ini systems tend to have race conditions that make it near impossible.
systemd is more robust, faster and more flexible, so how it wasn’t great remains a mystery to me?

WTF? I also mentioned upstart, and I call them init systems after the original init?!
Can you even read?
I zoomed too fast, my bad.
OK at least you admit the mistake. 👍
