D-Bus Daemond is superceded by systemd-busd
That’s pretty much what GNU is about, just technologically superior.
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.
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.
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 actual examples of systemd 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I haven’t heard that systemd should have anything special in that area either.Antivirus in the classical sense is an outdated concept anyway.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.
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
Inevitable.
Format your drive with ddd
disk destroyer deluxe
Your file system is mounted under /etcd/systemdd/systemd and you have to acces files with lsd /etcd/systemdd/systemd/homed-userd-Documentsd-myfiled.txtd.file
Yeah, I’m definitely gonna need lsd for this.
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.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.
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.
Typical Systemd guy only knowing about SysV.
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. 👍
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.
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.
Gentoo offers systemd and OpenRC, not SysV
OK thanks apparently OpenRC is a further development of Sysvinit, having many similarities.

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.
I’d use it if it’s as good as systemd.
I had to check the sub, as that was convincing!
Don’t give them ideas.
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.
