| The issue not being forced only. It's how valid criticisms are just tossed out of the window and systemd is developed as is because "the lead developer and the team knew way better than the collection wisdom accumulated over the years". Funny thing is they have bitten by the bugs they claimed they're immune to, so they had to apply these principles like they're first adopters of these. I've voiced my criticisms over the years, yet I still use systemd. I don't like it, but I don't hate it either. I want to share them, but, It'll be long, so I'll just leave links to my own comments: 1- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27651567 - A general criticism comment. 2- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25616356 - A general criticism thread. 3- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29672248 - About bugs in systemd. At the end of the day, if a critical component of an OS is being replaced, people at least want their concerns addressed. Want to have some conversation. Being yelled at literally and proverbially as forcing adoption of said software is bound to create some backlash. *Edit:* Initial text contained in this reply misunderstood the parent. Corrected, clarified, softened and re-written. Sorry about that. |
There are some massive quality of life improvements, but then there a few rough edges and papercuts and rather than address them, the conversation gets shut down.
