Systemd 242 Gearing Up For Release With XBOOTLDR Support, Other New Features

[Britoid]

I want also to add that Linux (not the kernel) is already a commercial product.
I sometimes give a look to a systemd-free alternatives: Gentoo is a non-installable OS; Devuan is not for me (for my own personal reasons). I already tryed FreeBSD on real hardware (a new pc bought in the end of last year) and all the internal and external peripheral devices worked out-of-box. Thats all.

Hard to take anything about Devuan seriously when they have holocaust denial material on their mailing list.

Can we just get back to the important point that SYSTEMd is trying to steal our INIT FREEDOM and it has a backdoor so pottering can work with Microsoft and destroy the Linux desktop by filling our hard drivers full of systemD porn.

Yes I do, I'm not the adult with the IQ of a 5-year old. Why are you still posting? Go turn yourself in to the stupid-police. At least bury your head in the sand, your statements are factually retarded.

Not only are you stupid. you are clinically retarded. 20 years and you still haven't grasped the concept of the GPL or the whole point of Linux to begin with. There can never be a closed source Linux as the license prevents it. I installed Linux on floppies in 97 on the steaming pile of horseshit that Slackware was/is and managed to recompile the 2.0.x kernel to enable my ne2k compatible network card. Without any internet. You're sitting here in 2019 with google at your fingertips and don't even know wtf the GPL is.



Holy fucking shit, you are so stupid you should be denied internet access to prevent your stupidness to spread. Please add your network driver to your distributions (Devuan?) blacklist right away.

Even you have the right to talk.

Understood, I'm only a stupid Linux user since 1999.

You aren't.

Android is no less Linux than any other OS using Linux kernel.

yes you are a stupid Linux user since 1999, I am a smart Linux user since 1999 which did not stay in 1999 forever

You aren't.

I fully support systemd and hope they continue to add exciting new features and capalities to make it the most advanced and powerful and capable init system. Hopefully with future releases we will see even more exciting and new capabilities to make Linux even more powerful and versatile. A big hearty thank you to Lennart and everyone else on the systemd team for all you have done to add so much power and flexibility to Linux that has made it truly a powerful, enterprise grade, industrial strength, versatile operating system environment.

I'm not sure that the integrated subsystem systemd+dbus+udev is the right solution for 'a better Linux OS'.
I remember when the command 'chmod +s somefile' was the only command to let users do what they want. Obviously, being too simple, someone thought that that command was dangerous. I remember also Hal (Hardware Abstraction Layer), which made things simple; obviously, being too simple, someone thought it was dangerous. I'm not saying that "+s" and Hal were the best solution, I'm only saying that when a thing is too simple someone decides to eliminate it and magically very complex alternatives appear. Beleiving that a monolithic Linux OS is the right way is to forget what features made Linux big. I hope that old init systems will be always supported by programmers, and I hope FreeBSD will never adopt such things, just to have an alternative to a future monolithic Linux OS.
