Bla, bla, bla. You have anything to contribute?

You do realize that BIND is among the worst software on the planet, right?

It is not for the "desktop" use case. It is broken for the "gaming" use case though for some hardware. But systemd will do exactly nothing there.

Oh? You seem to have failed to even look at it. Because it makes all of these worse.

My strategy:

a) Install distribution according to purpose (default: debian, laptop: ubuntu, server/with supported commercial sw configurations: red hat) out of the Box
b) Verify if additional features needed are there
c) Add the features you really need which are missing
d) If it does not work, follow the documentaiton
e) If following the documentaiton does not work withing a reasonable time, change distribution to a more conservative one and repeat from step a
f) perform testing
g) optimize performance (up to compiling a new kernel)

Has served me well the last 20 years. If i need knowledge about systemd, i hope its documented well, otherwise its off the list.

Nice Ad Hominem there. "If you disagree with me, then you are obvious a rapist." As I said, typical Neo-Feminist tactics. Utterly repulsive and dishonorable of course.

As to your "story", statistics say you either made that up, or it was something else. Data-rape drugs are exceedingly rarely used. It would also be terminally stupid to try to use this on a woman that obviously is with somebody. Anybody planning rape is bound to do at least some target observation before.

It basically comes down to KISS vs. features. Anybody that does not respect KISS is a hack at best, but these new people seem so in love with features that they completely ignore that disregarding KISS will mess anything and everything up. This stuff is hard to get right. An arrogant certainty of their own superiority (amply demonstrated by the systemd team at any given opportunity) is exactly the worst possible quality in somebody doing system architecture. I can only hope this whole mess comes crashing down when there is still time to go back to the solutions that worked without excessive effort.

If that were even remotely true, there would not be so much protest.

Bullshit. There is no "need" for systemd. It does solve a few exotic problems and does to at a huge cost to reliability, security and flexibility.

KISS is not a "religious idea" or a "sacred cow". KISS is the very foundation of all working engineering. Systemd throws KISS out the window.

You must be really stupid. Otherwise you would be able to use a search-engine and would have found out that there are numerous ways to do so and none of them involve complex software (except the systemd version). Hell, I wrote a python-wrapper in a few hours for that 12 years ago that has since worked flawlessly 24/7.

Nothing is broken with Linux. But by now I believe something very fundamental is broken in a highly dangerous fashion with the systemd developers. They hardly seem to qualify as UNIX folks at all with their mind-set....

Just my take on this thing. It also is complex, non-transparent, and will have a ton of vulnerabilities that NSA TAO can then leisurely walk into your system on. And it will be hard to avoid. Currently, it seems that the only way around it long-term will be going to Gentoo or Slackware. And the way it is introduced is extremely fishy and stinks of Red Had having PsyOps support and maybe a secret government mandate to put something like it in place or else. (Red Hat is mostly funded by the US military these days...)

You are a moron. LiMux is the "Linux Munich" distribution.

They have a stupid lawyer as new major that has zero understanding of IT, but is in bed with Microsoft. That is what is going on there. The "stupid" is because he makes claims without a shred of evidence and expects them to be believed. Even people from his own party in the city council are calling him a moron (in more polite, but no less clear terms).
