my brain kinda works like this O(minor os configuration concerns)

it's hard for me to imagine a space where you can use sysvinit but you cant use systemd. if that is currently the case, it wont be the case for long as the hardware requirement differences between the two is at least in the same order of magnitude.

other than a simple init system is way smaller and easier to manage than systemd. I like systemd, but it's situational on embedded Linux.

never, like, count out Touchdown Tom, man
the core thing that makes embedded linux systems embedded is that there's no user interacting directly with the os, they just boot up and immediately start running your code. so the choice of init system is really entirely based around what's easiest to get working the first time, and that's entirely based around what a) you happen to be most experienced with b) is the best-integrated with your shitbox system builder c) has the most available documentation and at this point systemd works great with modern busybox and i think yocto so go with that i guess

i did have a problem with it once where we'd set up some raspis with cheap little lovely 3x5 screens to run some random production line programming fixtures, and the guy who set them up made systemd units be the things moving some firmware files around from prep locations to the actual nfs mount points, and made those units for some reason be in the dependency path for the gui. so the failure mode when their sd cards were full or when someone misnamed some file or when the file was corrupt because the wireless network at the factory was a pile of trash and large files would routinely get corrupted on download was to just display some bootmessages for about a second and then just go to a black screen, boy that was rear end to debug

i guess what i'm saying is: nobody who does embedded linux is doing it because they truly love linux, it's because it's a really convenient way to get things like scheduling and a good hal and driver model for 0 dollars and a very minimal amount of extra work, just smdh if you have Big Opinions about its init scripts

systemd doesn't feel deterministic, which can worry some people
But I guess I can start moving from sysadmin-ing systemd and move to developing for it

nothing beats the low cognitive load of a big rc.sysinit file, especially when trying to teach an intern how to debug a new ticket

no no no, it'd be when we'd update the firmware files those things were flashing, you'd download the file from the CI server to your laptop and then put it on the sd card the raspis use. what you should be saying is using sd cards ever :gonk:

if apple had used gpl instead of their own custom license terms, linux distributions would probably be shipping launchd right now

Makes a great pet!
i've been using ubuntu 16.04 on two desktops with unity, one at home and one at work, and on both of them unity stopped working after an improper shutdown.

also on this one desktop sound worked fine except the speaker and headphone jacks were mute by default. i don't remember if it was that way on the other desktop.

apt-get remove lightdm, boot in console, use startx and fvwm like the old days, problem solved.

ubuntu suits my :spergin: needs etc. but holy gently caress unity is a bloated pile of hot garbage.

2017 will be the year of linux on the desktop, i swear to god.

Fedora is the same pile of garbage, but with different bugs

apple uses a license that's just as restrictive as the gpl, but incompatible with it. so nobody adopts apple's open source code

if they had used gpl or bsd or apache, launchd would probably be the de facto standard for unix service management. but they didn't.

Well, that and launchd is intimately tied to the peculiarities of Darwin just as systemd makes extensive use of the nonstandard features of Linux. Take cgroups and dbus out of systemd and you're left with something much less useful.

If you want launchd and a Darwin-like system, there's a very easy way to do that: use Darwin. It's open source, so contribute to it until it reaches the point where you find it useful on a server. Otherwise don't tell other people who contribute their free time what they should do.

Anyway, some carefully defined subset of systemd .service files could well be a de facto standard for unix service management, and it's already sort-of happening: nosh can utilize systemd unit files even though they aren't its native service file format.
