I don't understand why there's so much systemd hate. All these gentoo guides are like "To get this working with openrc, run these 20 commands. If you run systemd, there's nothing you need to do, it just works."

@bearmine I think it's more to do with the... caustic personality of some of the prominent systemd developers than with the relevant engineering considerations.

@seabass @bearmine it's both, and the technical issues are in some cases caused by systemd developers insisting on being wrong about things (e.g. lennart insisting that usernames beginning with digits aren't allowed based on one distro (fedora)'s rules for adduser (despite useradd and POSIX both allowing them), and for years refusing to support musl because glibc is the standard ABI for Linux (it's not, the Linux syscall ABI is, glibc is the standard for GNU/Linux))

it is highly opinionated software and some of the opinions are wrong
