    You had the chance to call it SystemdOSd and somehow you missed it. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

    Also why aren’t you including the most important piece, systemd-antivirusd?

      I have no idea where the antivirus came from?
      OP uses mostly actual examples of Linux functionality.
      I have never used nor needed an antivirus on Linux. And I haven’t heard that systemd should have anything special in that area either.

        Antivirus in the classical sense is an outdated concept anyway.
        Nowadays, if you want to protect your system, you need endpoint protection that supervises everything with system-level root access and only allows whitelisted processes to run.

    I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact Systemd/Linux, or as i’ve recently taken to calling it, Systemd plus Linux.

      Absolutely, but I guess the joke is that Pulseaudio was also a project headed by Lennart Poettering.
      Pulse was much hated by some, but actually brought substantial improvements to the Linux audio stack at the time.

      The transition to Pipewire however has been amazingly smooth by comparison. I haven’t detected any downsides, and the switch caused zero issues.

    I honestly thought systemd-homed seemed like a pretty sweet idea, last time I heard about it. Of course it was mostly just people screaming how systemd was literally hitler for even suggesting it

      Almost every project under systemd umbrella is great, most distros really underutilize it’s capabilities.

    My favorite systemd moment was when Lennart and Kay shouted “systemdeez nutz!” in the kernel mailing list and then proceeded to systemd all over the place.

    Minor notes, then we can begin implementation

    Only systemd is in PID1, login, journal, etc are their own PIDs

    Surely we’d use pipewired, not pulseaudiod

    Graphics and system ram may be unified, so we need a RAMArbitord that is shared between the main kernel and DRM blocks

    This post is amusing and funny, but personally I love systemd and I was also very fond of PulseAudio that brought massive improvements at the time.
    Lennart Poettering is absolutely a hero of Linux and Open Source, and helping Linux as a full blown high quality OS get to where it is today. Stronger and better than ever!!! Contrary to other major operating systems that suffer from serious Enshittification.

    Remember before systemd the most popular init system was upstart, and upstart was buggy as hell, with very serious bugs that existed for years without being fixed, because the basic design of init systems made it very very hard (impossible). and upstart was arguably the best among the rest. But because Ubuntu also switched to systemd, upstart has been deprecated because Upstart was an Ubuntu project.

    systemd was an entirely new design strategy that fixed errors that had been impossible to fix with traditional init systems.
    However some still prefer System V init, and I think Gentoo still uses that as default, I suppose because they find it better (easier to use) for tinkerers that micro-control everything.

    But IMO the design of systemd seems like pure genius, really a solution to a problem that needed fixing.

      SystemD itself was fine. Not great but better than what we had and I was happy with what it did.

      But then it started to sprawl and take over things it had no business doing.

      At this point I am no longer using the Linux kernel, I’m using the SystemD kernel, and as soon as Poettering feels like it he can simply sell the rights to SystemD to a big corpo like Microsoft once everything fully depends on it.

        There were pros and cons, I get the annoyance with the binary vs text files.
        But systemd booted faster than upstart, despite upstart was made for speed and systemd was made for being robust. The robustness of systemd however made it possible to make the ini process multithreaded and still work flawlessly, where old ini systems tend to have race conditions that make it near impossible.
        systemd is more robust, faster and more flexible, so how it wasn’t great remains a mystery to me?
