It would be a shame. A lot of people worked hard for POSIX, and I think POSIX does have a purpose.

I think you have it backwards.

SystemD is forced down our throats by a small elite at Red Hat. This is, very obviously, a move right out of Microsoft's playbook.

No thanks.

These days: Redhat == Microsoft.

I am surprised that more people don't see that.

At least we pretend to have free speech. Our politicians do not come right out and proclaim that free speech radicalizes people.

"Sure you have free speech, we'll just punish you if you say something we don't like"

Sure, that makes sense.

Not for Muslims. UK seems to have two separate standards: one for Muslims, one for everybody else.

Muslim preach hate in the streets all the time. Muslims are allowed to offend anybody. Nobody is allowed to offend Muslims.

Might as well piss on their graves.

They could win.

IMO: the article is wrong. Many of the reason that systemd is hated are technical. And those technical reasons have expressed, and then ignored, many times.

> You seem to be speaking for "the community", but I don't see any hard numbers suggesting that the majority of said community actually shares your opinions. Just because many voices cry out and cry loudly, does not make those voices representative of anything meaningful.

What about the other way around? SystemD advocates constantly try to dismiss those who criticize SystemD as a tiny handful of UNIX greybeards. I have yet to see any evidence of that being the case.

It very much seems to me that SystemD is pushed on all Linux by a tiny handful of Red Hat marketing execs.

Debian went with SystemD because they believed a systemd takeover was inevitable. Slackware is considering systemd for the same reason.

this is.

1) You always need five years of recent, verifiable, professional experience. Don't take my word for it, look at the ads.

2) The experience needs to be in about six different technologies, and every employer has a different list. Often the required skills are not even related to computers, i.e. HVAC tech - seriously, I've seen that, more than once.

3) Over 35 is considered very old.

Also, remember that employers are shipping jobs offshore as fast as they possibly can. And the jobs they cannot ship offshore are to be filled with visa workers.

Yeah, three months of coding training, sure, that'll do it.

Good luck.

"Crimes?"

Maybe a technicality, but isn't copyright violation a civil matter, and not a crime?

I'm guessing it's the apps. OpenBSD is probably great for servers, but does not have all the desktop apps as Linux.

Or, maybe I'm wrong.

I am really hating Red Hat's hostile takeover of Linux. I may consider a BSD.
