# It is actually systemd/Linux!
|
|
|
|
Most people who hate systemd can't elaborate on why they hate
|
|
systemd. But I can.
|
|
|
|
## Privacy issues
|
|
|
|
There are a **lot** of conspiracy theories about systemd being spyware.
|
|
|
|
[systemd fallback to G\*\*gle DNS
|
|
servers.](https://isc.sans.edu/forums/diary/Systemd+Could+Fallback+to+Google+DNS/22516/) This is a very serious privacy issue.
|
|
|
|
This can be modified in the [`configure.ac`](https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/a083537e5d11bce68639c492eda33a7fe997d142/configure.ac#L1305) But i don't think you want to recompile systemd
|
|
|
|
BTW, why does my ***INIT*** software manage my DNS? I thought we had. emm.

|
|
* NetworkManager
|

* wicd

## UNIX philosophy

|
According to
|
|
[this](https://linux.slashdot.org/story/19/05/25/0538206/systemd-now-has-more-than-12-million-lines-of-code)
|
|
systemd has 1.2 million lines:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There's also systemd-boot, systemd-crypt setup and probably much others
|
|
than **we** haven't discovered yet.
|
|
|
|
Here's a list of what systemd manages:
|
|
|
|
* [Gnome](https://blogs.gnome.org/benzea/2019/10/01/gnome-3-34-is-now-managed-using-systemd/)
|
|
[Extra](https://github.com/dantrell/gentoo-project-gnome-without-systemd)
|
|
* [Home directories](https://www.howtogeek.com/673018/systemd-will-change-how-your-linux-home-directory-works/)
|
|
* [Encrypted disks](https://manpages.debian.org/jessie/systemd/systemd-cryptsetup-generator.8.en.html)

### X11 in systemd
|
|
|
|
Of course, [X11 was **completely**
|
|
necessary](https://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/tree/NEWS?id=2d1ca11270e66777c90a449096203afebc37ec9c#n783)
|
|
in PID 1
|
|
|
|
### Ever wanted to connect to a remote systemd machine (using systemd)?
|
|
|
|
[Now you
|
|
can!](https://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/tree/NEWS?id=2d1ca11270e66777c90a449096203afebc37ec9c#n1500)
|
|
|
|
### /etc/ bullshit
|
|
|
|
[If you run
|
|
systemd](https://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/tree/NEWS?id=2d1ca11270e66777c90a449096203afebc37ec9c#n1401)
|
|
with an empty /etc directory, `systemctl preset-all` (whatever that
|
|
does) is executed. to ensure a good "factory reset"
|
|
|
|
Really? I think that if someone is going to remove /etc is because a)
|
|
per's stupid or b) per's distro was already broken.
|
|
|
|
Also, why is this in the fucking init process?
|
|
|
|
#### `systemctl` edit command
|
|
[systemctl has its own editor, which is `$EDITOR` though, pretty useless since you just removed /etc.](https://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/tree/NEWS?id=2d1ca11270e66777c90a449096203afebc37ec9c#n689)
|
|
|
|
### systemd-rfkill
|
|
It was something really necessary! My init system controlling if my
|
|
fucking wifi card is on or off! I don't know what i would do without a
|
|
process spawned by my kernel doing this...
|
|
|
|
### Your init software manages your calendar and cron jobs
|
|
|
|
[Yeah, completely
|
|
necessary.](https://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/tree/NEWS?id=2d1ca11270e66777c90a449096203afebc37ec9c#n1044)
|
|
|
|
### systemd stores tempfiles in a completely sane directory!
|
|
[Literally why?
|
|
](https://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/tree/NEWS?id=2d1ca11270e66777c90a449096203afebc37ec9c#n1049)we
|
|
literally have /tmp and /dev/shm, fucking `systemd-tmpfiles` was completely unnecessary
|
|
|
|
### systemd does not know what FastCGI is
|
|
|
|
[Thank you systemd](https://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/tree/NEWS?id=2d1ca11270e66777c90a449096203afebc37ec9c#n166)
|
|
|
|
<hr> Being systemd so fucking big, it could crash in any second. And
|
|
since systemd is PID 1, if it crashes, the kernel would panic.
|
|
|
|
GNU's not UNIX! so why would it have to follow the UNIX philosophy?
|
|
|
|
Because it is UNIX like!
|
|
|
|
## Serious issues
|
|
|
|
* [You can accidentally remove /](https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/5644)
|
|
|
|
* [L\*nnart thinks we cannot `useradd 0day`](https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/6237)
|
|
|
|
* [The very necessary cryptsetup repleacement don't work](https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/6381)
|
|
|
|
* [They don't know how to use getopt](https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1596)
|

|
## Logs
|
|
|
|
**systemctl** uses its own format (binary BTW) to logs the shit, and you have to
|
|
use **journalctl** (can't use less/more/cat/whatever) to see what's going on.
|
|
|
|
At least, there's /var/log. But not all software use that
|
|
|
|
## Alternatives to systemd
|
|
|
|
Good luck!
|
|
|
|
* runit
|
|
* sinit
|
|
* SysVinit
|
|
* Seppherd
|
|
* cinit
|
|
* OpenRC
|
|
* Anything that is not systemd. for satan's sake
|
|
|
|
Anyways, good distros without systemd are gentoo, void and
|
|
slackware. Consider BSD too!
