>There is never any actual technical reasons it's always about vague things like not adhering to UNIX philosophy, lines of code or it being badly designed (without any real architectural criticism)

I did not mention the first two, so please do not pretend I argued that. For bad design look at transactions. That is really dumb and makes the system near incomprehensible. The documentation is bad, dbus is literally so bad they tell you not to use it without a wrapper. The terminology is very questionable and makes it hard to explain what a unit actually does.

But I don't even see that as the worst part. The worst part is that they fundamentally can't do basic software engineering, in the sense that they do not have a defined project scope. Everything is potentially a systemd issue and not once does anyone take a step back and say "maybe systemd" isn't the right place to fix that problem.

>This is an article about why they believe sudo isn't a good system. Where's your criticism of that from a technical / security perspective?

If you don't read my posts please do not respond to me. Look at the first post I made and carefully read it.

I read your OP. It does not contain a technical / security criticism of run0. It's an angry, hand-wavey, vague rant against a project that took a design decision you apparently disagree with, but lacking any actual analytical evaluation of the thing up for discussion.

This sort of top-level post shows up on every single article that mentions "systemd", so you'll maybe understand why people tend to be dismissive.

Yes, I literally say there is nothing wrong with the idea, so you going ahead and demanding I criticize the idea, is just absurd.

Really, this is completely bizarre. I even say that the thinking behind replacing sudo is fine, yet you are here complaining that I don't deliver technical arguments against something which I even told you might be completely valid to do from a technical perspective. Baffling.

Let me get this right: you see an article on a new thing, which you have no problem with, but have an angry rant in the comments section anyway? And now you're baffled by people's reaction to that?

I'm not sure there's much point engaging further, I hope you have a good rest of the day.

No, I think the systemd project shouldn't exist. I have no problem with someone writing a sudo replacement.

Do you understand the difference?

[SAI_Peregrinus]

Do you also think the GNU project shouldn't exist? If not, what's the difference?

I can use GNU bash on NetBSD with no other GNU software installed. I can install GNU coreutils on Alpine Linux (complete with musl libc instead of glibc). In fact, it's possible to just install a single part of GNU coreutils but not the rest - ex. Alpine packages just sha512sum as https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/contents?branch=edge&name=coreu... (not sure why). I don't think I've seen it done, but you could build a Linux distro that used glibc and gcc but no other GNU software (busybox coreutils and ksh shell, say). GNU has their own kernel, but is predominantly used on other OSs. They want to build all the pieces, but you can opt in or out of all of them, and they're all portable. In contrast, if you want to use, say, run0, you must run systemd as PID 1, you must use journald, and the whole stack only runs on Linux. So yeah, that is actually different.
