I hope you understand that this thread is tongue-in-cheek humor.

Poe's law strikes again! I shall wear my dunce cap in shame. Which invariably has a d on it.

'Good afternoon sirs, I would like a Debian operating system with systemd on it that isn't Debian and doesn't have systemd on it but with systemd on it.'

I wonder on a commercial server, that RH services, do they charge for removing this "feature"?

Hey, watch it with those gray beard jokes.

Spot on.

Red Hat is throwing out the money for corporate hackers to ruin Linux.

It's not "just" systemd alone, by the way. How many drones are working on
Gnome 3 and KDE 5? And now compare KDE 5 to KDE 3 and tell me how
many free hackers remained from the KDE 3 days. You can actually read
up on many similar user stories how KDE 3 was the last good KDE and
then things constantly worsened over time, with pointless gimmicks and
shiny flashy but useless widgets.

I understand that these greedy corporate hackers want to generate revenue
but this comes at the cost of people using Linux as a whole.

Well that is the Microsoft system for success, just look at the AWESOME and ginormous support/antivirus/repair industry they spawned.

You can really see the commercialism shine when they wax poetic about "branding" and removing configuration options so all the dumb people will finally HAVE TO DO IT THEIR WAY WHICH IS OF COURSE THE RIGHT WAY!

I would love it if our schools did this:

Teacher: okay class what is proprietary software good for?

Class:  SPYWARE!

Teacher: That's Correct!

ah well, one can dream... heh.

# This goes in /etc/init.d/hook-for-my-shutdown-jobs
[ "$1" = "stop" ] && /opt/scripts/my-shutdown-jobs

When one can can do it this way instead:

# This goes in /etc/systemd/system/hook-for-my-shutdown-jobs
[Unit]
Description=Run shutdown scripts

[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=true
ExecStart=/bin/true
ExecStop=/opt/scripts/my-shutdown-jobs

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Making even trivial tasks complex makes me feel smart.
