> .. and that opinion is a great explanation of why systemd won.

Completely wrong and ignorant.

> Turns out, a lot of people are not happy with "Come on man. It's been done for decades." attitude, and they wanted something new and much better.

And then they got systemd. LOL

Like Dr. Phil said, "How's that workin out for ya?" LOL

> And so when something new came up, they jumped on it with both feet.

You just did what your type always does: whatever you're told.

> It's instructive to read Debian CTTE discussion on init systems

No, it really isn't. lol

> the choices were either upstart and systemd. And between two of those, systemd is a clear win.

Well, it's too bad none of the other good options were considered, isn't it? When your only "options" are a giant douche or a turd sandwich, the outcome can't possibly be good.

See U.S. presidential elections for one of the best examples of this dynamic. Two complete fucking losers are presented every time, and 40% of the population are mesmerized by the spectacle and think there can be no other possible options at all. That's you.

The fact is, many of you noobs don't even know how to write a shell script, yet somehow feel qualified to comment on this subject, as if your opinion is worth anything at all.

How many daemons have you personally written? Hmm? Do you even know how to write any C at all? Daemonizing a process isn't rocket science. It's a double fork. So simple even you could do it, I bet.

The problem is you're too technically ignorant to understand that none of your "technical" arguments hold any water at all. It's just you repeating the bullshit you were told, as usual.

Every Big Lie being told relies on Useful Idiots like you to help support it.

Logging is not difficult. Double forking is not difficult. If you find any of that to be a challenge, you're not qualified to write a daemon. If you can't successfully set up and run something like runit or any of the many other good sysvinit alternatives, you're not qualified to administer a Linux system. Period.

You make all these appeals to authority ("highly technical people" saying this or that) like that means something. You forget that you're speaking to the guy who built his own operating system. I don't need any guidance from "highly technical people" on what init system to pick. Apparently you're the type who does.

That's what your entire argument basically boils down to--one giant appeal to authority.

If everyone else was jumping off a bridge, would you do it too? Of course you would, without a moment's hesitation. Because you're a God damned lemming.

Now get off my lawn.
