Because they want systemd to do or don't do something the whole world has to change. Why not let systemd die and keep fbdev?

Marketing version: hey! X11 is old like dinosaurs and a security mess, you can even grab the screen if you are connected to the X server.
Thanks to god, we developed a cutting edge architecture composed by systemd to restrict who can run X11, wayland to restrict what the apps can do and dbus to let's them talk together. We end up to a system that works only in the original author environment and with worst security bugs: thanks to systemd any logged user can grab the screen, not only the ones connected to the X server, then you can execute arbitrary commands through dbus and anyone who can connect to the xwayland socket can do what they want without authentication!
So, what are you waiting for before to install our novel view of Unix NT?

1. It's not a bug.
2. It's not systemd's fault.
3. The article is clickbait.Last edited by unixfan2001; 25 May 2016, 12:46 AM.

Not sure what your beef with NT is either. You do realise the Windows NT kernel is pretty advanced as far as security is concerned, right?
