Linux is not going to change in the short to medium term. Systemd has been live for half a decade, and on the balance it is an improvement. If one was really against it, you can use Ubuntu 14.04 until 2019. By then you will either have to suck it up or systemd will be extinct. Unless something better comes along (and no, the various pieces that it replaces were not better from a *Linux* perspective) it will likely be with us for some time.
Most of the bad "press" has been a result of a misunderstanding of what the systemd pieces are and more importantly are not. I read one post about a guy fuming at how systemd replaced ifconfig with "ip addr". He was blaming this on systemd when the reality is that these are not related (net-tools was deprecated back in 2001, however it has taken 15 years for Linux sysadmins to realize this). One could always switch to OpenBSD since systemd is Linux specific. On Sat, Sep 19, 2015 at 6:22 PM, Joe S <joes...@shaw.ca> wrote: > I've read some controversy about systemd.
