No?
Nothing? 8^°

I beg to differ.

I've said it many times before: there is a lot of moolah behind
making systemd the "de-facto" init for the Linux ecosystem.

systemd is nothing but an MS registry for Linux and the main purpose
is to turn Linux into a MS type OS.

Just why do you think that MS came to "love" Linux?

And you *do* know who the author of that abortion of nature that is
systemd works today?

As posted by a commentard at ElReg with respect to systemd:

"... nothing but a developer sanctioned virus running inside the OS,
constantly changing and going deeper and deeper into the host with
every iteration and as a result, progressively putting an end to the
possibility of knowing/controlling what is going on inside your box
as it becomes more and more obscure."

" ... a putsch to eventually generate and then force a convergence of
Windows with or into Linux, which is obviously not good for Linux and
if unchecked, will be Linux's undoing."

*That* is the concept behind systemd.

There's nothing new there: it is the old MS embrace, extend, and
extinguish that has been going on for decades, only that now there's
active participation from MS/IBM/RH.
