Err what. So instead of using our well-known and rather robust crap you |
9 |
want to use other people's more shiny untested crap? |

I still haven't seen any compelling reason for systemd apart from a |
12 |
fuzzy "it's faster" (which openrc already satisfies). Policykit is one |
13 |
of those things that are a serious pain to get working (hello XML!) and |
14 |
NetworkManager ... oh dear, you can't be serious. Debugging that beast |
15 |
made me realize how bad things can get. Let's just say that I'd like to |
16 |
switch upstream to state 9 for reason 6 a few times until they say |
17 |
"Warning: Error successfully happened!" or something like that. |

"Modern tools" ? OpenRC is the fastest and most reliable init system |
26 |
I've seen in quite some time. It even has the most awesome feature that |
27 |
"stop" stops services! (Which some other distros still don't manage |
28 |
reliably) |
29 |
Add human-readable config files and no silly dependencies to the list |
30 |
and you have an awesome tool. No idea why you don't like having nice |
31 |
features ... |
