[T.J. ] Are you guys just making jokes or are people really like that over at Debian User these days? I realize systemd is not everyone's favorite topic, but this seems "over the top" and exaggerated. You mentioned an Armstrong before. Is the trolling really that bad?


>From my standpoint, systemd is neither bad nor good, it is badly constructed. I certainly would not put it on server without serious thought, but I do not think that I would be overly concerned about it on the desktop.

Steve, I'd like to ask you a question from a technical standpoint. I am not being sarcastic or condescending in any way whatsoever. If you, in your experience, think that perhaps systemd is an attempt to clone a Windows desktop, the server side of Linux be damned? I would think that myself, except that RedHat is paying Poettering. It seems to me that there are really two sides in this: the veteran UNIX server crowd and the FLOS Linux Desktop people?

Thoughts anyone?
