I am getting so sick of these blogs for or against systemd.

It is free software. If you do not want to use it, use a distro without it. And vice versa if you want it. And if you don't like that Debian or Canonical or Arch a few years back or OpenSuse have switched to using it... too bad, you are not the maintainer of the repos, and if you were an active member of the community with voting power, you were outvoted. That means a majority of people with stake in these distros wanted systemd, and it is their project.

Make your own distro without it if you don't want it. Or use one of the dozens of distros that don't use systemd, or one of the forks that have been made to remove systemd already.




Well, following your line of reasoning: If you don't like these articles, too bad! You have been outvoted. Go build your own news website from scratch.


It's obvious you didn't even read the article.

EDIT: I don't know the motivation for the downvotes. I replied like this because the commenter posted a canned cookie-cutter reply that is addressed in the article as Fallacy #6.1.

It's pro-systemd brigading. The cancer is spreading.


Terrible logic. With this kind of logic anything can be justified.


Looks like 'you can do it, or you can not do it, or somebody you depend on can do it, and if you don't like it you can leave, everybody has made the decision and you have lost, get out, yadda yadda' has been deemed a good argument in this thread. Scary.
