Indeed ...

Like I posted once elsewhere:

There is a huge amount of moolah and resources behind making systemd
the de-facto init for the Linux ecosystem.

Which is nothing short of a MS registry for Linux, its main purpose
being to turn Linux into a MS type OS, with Debian eventually being
totally absorbed by it.

You do not know what shithole software is till you have had to deal
with the MS registry.

But there's really nothing new here: it is the old MS embrace,
extend, and extinguish that has been going on for decades.

Only that now there's active participation and backing from IBM/RH,
with all that it entails and cooperation from the insisde, so to
speak.

Devuan (and derivatives) is still holding on but who knows for how
long this will be so.

Meanwhile, in Linux land, very few people remember what the
principles of Unix philosophy stood on.

(faint sound of crickets in the distance ...)
