Re: [LUG] Systemd

 
It annoys me. Some things it does are new and non-logical to my mind, but not so annoying that i've seriously wished to dump Debian in favour of Devuan (which always seemed like a daft idea - why leave the world's best distribution for something else? Especially as you can use Sysv on Debian too, it's just not the default).

I trust the Debian team to do right by me, even if I don't always understand their choices. Mostly my trust is repaid.

Most users won't have any issue with it.Â

Those that do will have to learn new systems for old problems, and find some new problems. Documentation is sometimes sparse but I've yet to encounter anything that has proved significantly troublesome.

I think I probably dislike it on principle rather than logic. Like being English - I'd miss the weather if it stopped being awful and I had nothing to complain about. systemd is useful and sometimes fun to moan about.

Hi Gang,

So, now that the dust has settled a bit how is Sytemd panning out? I moved house last year and was in limbo for 6 months so put off updating Mint 17.3. But now I'm resettled I want to move on but am reluctant to wrestle with systemd. I'm looking at Devuan and it's derivatives which seem to be very well liked by the users, but that may be because they are very conservative in their tastes. Any thoughts?

 Hi George,

Aside from some teething issues with my NAS on NFS - ironed out by simplifying my fstab - I've not had any major issues with systemd. I upgraded Mint a couple of days ago - the current iteration is Sylvia (18.3). Of course YMMV depending on the system's purpose and - I assume - how complex a network you have.

Kind regards,

Julian
