That and systemd having actually useful man pages.
replyThis is such a modern view. People used to HATE systemd when it first came out, but I always liked it and knew people would eventually come around and its nice to see they finally did!
replythe thing for me is I started using the init system and while it was fine it always felt brittle for some reason. systemd feels solid and robust like it was well thought out. maybe i'm off base and didn't know how to use init effectively but it was my feeling.
replythat and cron always felt fragile too with a lot of quirks and limitations you had to work around instead of being a robust thing from the start.
Some people are stubborn and refuse to see how obviously superior systemd is to the old ways. Me included.
replySome people see it differently. As in: after using it they don't want to use it. I hate systemd with passion.
replyBut that's because I'm old because obviously systemd-* is the only right way and everyone else who see things differently is a pundit.
I hard disagree. Previously I could use what I knew about Linux commands to read logs and administer the systemm. Systemctl knowledge does not generalize.
replyI have done scheme all my life, which is why I prefer shepherd. Not only is it in a syntax that i can use elsewhere, I get completion in Emacs.
