I think much of the bad attitude came       from Lennart Poettering and lets hope there will be a "pipewire" for       systemd too.              For me it's been more of the security concern, they assume quite a lot       of things in the code without really knowing and the more code they have       in systemd the more risk for security issues and they already top       numbers of critical security issues compared with the other init systems       (I think it's quite same to say combined).              --        //Aho              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
