from the yet-another-systemd-story dept.

Controversy is nothing new when it comes to systemd. Many people find this new Linux init system to be inherently flawed in most ways, yet it is still gaining traction with major distros like Arch Linux, openSUSE, Fedora, and soon both Ubuntu and Debian GNU/Linux. The adoption of systemd for Debian 8 "Jessie" has been particularly fraught with strife and animosity.

Some have described the systemd adoption process as having been a "coup", while others are vowing to stick with Debian 7 as long as possible before moving to another distro. Others are so upset by what they see as a complete betrayal of the Debian and open source communities that there is serious discussion about forking Debian. Regardless of one's stance toward systemd, it cannot be argued that it has become one of the most divisive and disruptive changes in the long history of the Debian project, threatening to destroy both the project and the community that has built up around it.

    Why, oh why can I not logon
    Oh systemd, Oh systemd
    Thy features are creeping

    Oh systemd, Oh systemd

    Oh systemd, Oh systemd

    You fuck up Unix unapologetically
    Oh systemd, Oh systemd
    How poorly implemented are ye?

    This briefly made the pain of systemd go away. But it roared back, like only a systemd infection can do.
