Well, that's one way to "use" systemd, I guess.

Systemd has simplified my life on a few occasions, and it seems to be reliable from what I can tell. At the end of the day if I can get the OS to do what I want in a relatively simple matter, that's all I care about.

I don't know what systemd is but this is pretty much how I picture all linux users.

Used systemd for years; realistically my first init.

Switched to Gentoo.

Switched to OpenRC.

Lost logs at work on a server.

Some small inconveniences show up on systemd.

Yea, systemd is not that great.

There are people saying they don't want to care about an init system, but it's the same attitude as of those who don't care about what car they drive. Yes, it gets the job done, but that's not good enough for me.

I want the job done properly.

I would replace grub in a heartbeat with systemd if it a feature like grub-btrfs (boot time snapshots for btrfs all in the GUI)

Well, now I do.

Have one extra buzz from me as well. Screw RedHat and everything it does.

Yes I like it and it is loads better then what came before it.

[-] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago

I've only ever used systemd, and I'm not really aware of what else is out there, since I think systemd has been the default on all the distros I've tried. Anyone have some good resources on other alternatives and how to start playing around with them?

For my basic needs it always felt more confusing then necessary. Don't have a hate boner for it, but i prefer not to use it at this point. I'm using Void and i really like how simple runit is.
