[talk] despair with linux

[Edward Capriolo]

systemd is a total $hitshow. IMHO it was a bad attempt to try and clone
solaris svc without really having the infrastructure in the os to make it
happen.


I don't know I am from the old days, you had init scripts and you wrote
things that did not crash every 8 hours thus needing some fancy system to
constantly restart it. Software searching a use case I guess.

I never had a problem with udev, someone explained it to me once and it
made sense in a crazy way. But yea its one of those things that only makes
sense for the moment someone is explaining it to you.

The think you have to realize is "its a throw away world" laptops with no
expandability. Servers OSes are not not for servers, you make an iso and
use it in the cloud forever! Why would you be trying to boot something
thats not booting, just spin up another instance in CLOUD!
