There is plenty of features in systemd init that have no comparable equivalents in other init systems and they are heavily used in production. It is frankly not close. As a quick example, dozens of security hardening toggles. Also systemd doesn't have a DNS server. Maybe you are confusing a resolver with a server?
It's not so much about Linux.. Linux is a lost cause at this point and descending into a Server 2019 clone under the guidance of IBMHat.
It's that OpenRC has comparable features for FreeBSD, it also has the right licence and scope.

I haven't read about anything more recent happening in that space

So frankly I don't believe the claim that systemd journal files are more susceptible to corruption than plain-text (which is of course also a binary format).
What makes me wondering is why you can't see it?
When you write systemd logs or any information to a file, in binary format you right structures or objects( in this case, log objects, with a certain pre-accorded protocol ), and those objects have certain characteristics..
Obviously if corruption occurs you are unable to retrieve those objects, since they are corrupt, after that point doesn't matter what those objects hold inside..since you can't get them back( as they are not the original information written..).
Maybe you can' t see it, but its the plain truth..
Text files use a simple encoding system, that is very efficient, and they are not object structures..
This problem( while very rare in Aix, thanks god.. ) sometimes happens with the ODM database,
And I can tell you that is a PITA to get your configuration back, correctly.Last edited by tuxd3v; 09 July 2020, 04:21 PM.

Yeah, they move very slowly and carefully. It's ok, it's a good thing to be quite careful. A lot of people are interested in and it's being discussed. They need an architectural plan. FreeBSD isn't a distro so they don't just throw stuff in. (although there are distros of FreeBSD with OpenRC now so testing is being done there)

It gets used for servers a lot more often in industry than you may think.. It doesn't get the hype tho because it's focus isn't on being a desktop.. I see you mentioned a lot of desktop stuff there. Have you looked at kqueue or blacklistd or pf or jails.. they are superior to Linux equivalents.
