Hi am noob why systemd bad? I use Debian, is fucked?
Honestly I've been hearing about this for a while now but never bothered to check, I'm too lazy for that.
It's not inherently bad, it "fails" the Unix Philosophy of "Do one thing and do it well" but since Linux's kernel is:
It used to be a mess, but that's solved. The biggest reason to avoid systemd is mainly user preference, not anything malicious. 90% of current distros use systemd as its easier for the maintainers and package programmers to build for the general than each package and each distro having their own methods of how to do an init system and other tasks.
How Debian and Arch and Gentoo and Slackware and other big distros worked was different, and the maintainers of those packages had to know "Debian's way" and not a general way that most places accept. Systemd actually solved the Too Many Standards! issue.
I've never really seen a big argument against systemd, but maybe I've just not heard it.
back when you had an init system and you got it just the way you wanted it, you would be pissed that you had to move to systemd
now its there when you install and it is stable so it isn't a big deal. But old beards hate change.
Old beards built linux and everything around, have some respect.
