alt Hacker NewsYeah Wayland I get. It's still kind of janky even after almost 20 years. Complaining about Systemd makes no sense though. It works very reliably, switching to it caused no issues, and it has fixed a number of problems with the Linux desktop.
Some people just want to live in the 80s forever.

"Some people just want to live in the 80s forever."
I think this shaming of free software users that want to make other choices is rather terrible.

Yep. Today, I would tend to agree with this.

Yeah, okay, there's no need to make wild untrue claims to support your position. The initial adoption was rough, things absolutely did break, and some of those rough edges are still around to bite the unwary (enable-linger/KillUserProcesses are my "favorite" footgun that will never be fixed because systemd thinks killing your stuff is a feature).
