The whole point of LFS is to understand how the thing works.

nothing is actually stopping people from understanding systemd-init except a constant poorly justified flame war. it's better documented than pretty much everything that came before it.

In what way was Bruce incorrect, your one link excepted?
raggi · 9 days ago
he is counting every c file in the systemd _repository_ which houses multiple projects, libraries and daemons. he equates that to the c file count for a single init. it's a disingenuous comparison. systemd-init is a small slice of the code in the systemd repository.

I've heard of Hurd, but never felt tempted to try it. That could be an interesting option.

hurd init is a lot like systemd architecturally, it just gets to use kernel provided ipc rather than having to manage its own. if your objection to systemd is its architecture you don't want anything to do with hurd.

This is a mindblower. To quote Bruce Dubbs:

''As a personal note, I do not like this decision. To me LFS is about learning how a system works. Understanding the boot process is a big part of that. systemd is about 1678 "C" files plus many data files. System V is "22" C files plus about 50 short bash scripts and data files. Yes, systemd provides a lot of capabilities, but we will be losing some things I consider important.

However, the decision needs to be made.''

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/tree/main/src/core doesn't look like 1678 C files to me.

Unless Valve are going to do some work to enable that and support a hardware backed chain of trust for drivers that's not going to happen.

(I think it should happen but that's not the same as that it will.)

The drivers are already done, they're in the Android build.

I just want a more open OS.

I don't mind if it requires running a vendor signed boot, kernel and driver chain, I'd be using those same vendor chains anyway for non upstreamed hardware most likely.

DRM is anti-consumer malware, so I hope not.

There are other ways to source videos than paying a monthly fee forever for something that you will never own.

Please talk to your congresspeople about getting DRM abolished, in the meantime, please don't try to deny my freedom to consume legally obtained content that is only available with DRM.

I love my shield, it’s been a staple.

If they wanted to really knock it out the park, the next step would be a steamos port with DRM support.

Been wanting this ever since doing it in Fuchsia. Really excited to see added focus and investment in this for the Linux ecosystem.
