Re: [PLUG] People can't stop trashing systemd without reading the docs, you won't believe what happens next! (WAS: LINUX ADMIN ADVICE)

[Will <staticphantom@gmail.com>]

I have found init scripts to be more of a pain since I can't add the waits onto it for specific services. Unit files tell me more of what I need and versus scripts. Case in point, getting 802.1x on the Ethernet was a pain compared to doing the same with systemd. 

Yeah, I will say rc.local is bog simple to just slam crap in there. However it's nice I can make a unit file to launch nspawn natively with the distro. I can't say I have had a similar experience approaching the same simplicity with rc.local or with the nice speed/logging out of the box. 

It's 2018... Why are people still complaining about the switch to systemd.

The fact that something hasn't been done is hardly proof that nobody
is able to do it.  More likely nobody cares enough to bother.  I have
gotten by just fine with OpenRC for many years despite not having
referred to a block diagram for it, and the same is true of systemd.
