Debian May Be Leaning Towards Systemd Over Upstart

[dalingrin]

I don't like systemd, but in systemd is more easy to enable and disable units(?), at least in ubuntu to disable the lightdm i have to edit some crappy Cannonical scripts.

You don't like systemd but you don't even know to use it?

in systemd is more easy to enable and disable units

Should be easier:
sudo systemctl enable lightdm
sudo systemctl disable lightdm

the (?) is for the units i don't know if call daemons or process or what

I prefer OpenRC over the extend and embrace systemd, but it seems I won't have the choice in a foreseeable future. Everyone in Linux will be forced to use systemd. The problem with systemd is not the init system itself, but the assimilation of other parts of the system.

At least I'll have the choice between Wayland, Mir and X11, like I can with video player (mplayer2, vlc etc) or browser (firefox, chromium etc).

i think various solutions is better than only one, it will be like xorg? it really suck, but no other solution so far, no competion , what somepeople calls fragmentation i call competion

Various solutions are better when there's no clear technical winner. Systemd is the clear technical winner.

I agree with this choice.

and that is simply because not one had guts to finally say "let's make linux init and use all shiny new things it offers" instead of limiting it to lowest common denominator until systemd. i'm all for portability, unless thing is really low level. at that point whole os experience suffers. and for what?

choice only matters until there is competition, systemd simply has none

Spotify also wants Debian to use systemd they have around 5000 physical servers running Debian systemd

i don't know if any of you know this but some debian developers are also systemd developer

Too bad... I had hoped for openrc. If the choice is between systemd and upstart, then systemd is definitely better.

openrc is not an option because it is basically sysv on steroid meaning majority of administrators want to be rid of excessive of bash scripts.
