Proposal for a modern unified Linux system

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Antivirus in the classical sense is an outdated concept anyway.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.
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 😎
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.
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.
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.
Enjoying the term daemond.
D-Bus Daemond is superceded by systemd-busd
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
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.
Gentoo offers systemd and OpenRC, not SysV

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.

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.

Hardwared killed me. Am I crazy to assume it will be available for both x86d and x86d-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.
Don't give them ideas.
I'm hyped for the systemd web browser and systemd 3D modeling software. It will be the full system one day.
I had to check the sub, as that was convincing!
I'd use it if it's as good as systemd.
That's pretty much what GNU is about, just technologically superior.
Replaced my third system with artix and could not be happier.
Inevitable.
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.
