showing a list of bugs and vulnerabilities is not a compelling case against systemd, or it is a compelling case agains every single piece of software.... providing an argument *why* systemd is bad is what I expect
Agreed. As a previous systemd hater I went there looking for an abstract, high-level argument. I got drivel instead.
One compelling argument I’ve seen is that it tries to be too much which violates the Unix philosophy of small tools doing a single thing well.
After years of using it I have to conclude that it’s here to stay and while not perfect it’s good enough I’m not going through the hell of tearing it out.
