systemd is a small factor in that development.
But what is really achieved by this?
Scaring away a professional audience with black boxes, in-transparency or
feature creeping in favor of gaining the interest of e.g. a gamer audience?
Does it really matter to gamers what operating system they use? Or does it
matter to the people who streamline (ruin) operating systems (that might use
the Linux kernel) for that audience?
Just food for thought.
Personally, I can always chroot and cheat my way out of the path that leads to
the streamlined garbage.
But operating systems (that might use the Linux kernel) lose their professional
advantages they had over the alternatives only to become popular.
So we end up having popular but redundant operating systems for the price of
professionality? And professionals have to turn to LFS?
This is a technical mailing list. Please keep it that way. If you want
to discuss philosophical issues, please find a different forum, there
are plenty of those.
Thank you,

I should have known that before I posted it.
Now you will have to manually remove my post from the archive.
Sorry for that.
