About the true purpose of systemd

I've been involved with , , and , ...

I've met @pid_eins and other prominent figures behind closed doors

I can confirm from first-hand experience that systemd is indeed a conspiracy to make better operating systems with Linux

@sonny @pid_eins
So monopoly equals better?

Imagine if people felt the same way about cars... We'd all be driving Trabant.

This analogy is completely broken.

There is no market for init systems (or whatever systemd is)

systemd isn't an end product

nothing competes with systemd

But also and this is more personal :)

1. Cars suck
2. I wouldn't mind if everybody drove the same safe car
3. I don't have a driving license

@sonny also, choice in the car market is largely an illusion, so much has been consolidated in that industry in the past decades 🙃
