Operating systems (that might use the Linux kernel) are being streamlined from being professional into being popular.
systemd is a small factor in that development. But what is really achieved by this? Scaring away a professional audience with black boxes, in-transparency or feature creeping in favor of gaining the interest of e.g. a gamer audience? Does it really matter to gamers what operating system they use? Or does it matter to the people who streamline (ruin) operating systems (that might use the Linux kernel) for that audience? Just food for thought. Personally, I can always chroot and cheat my way out of the path that leads to the streamlined garbage. But operating systems (that might use the Linux kernel) lose their professional advantages they had over the alternatives only to become popular. So we end up having popular but redundant operating systems for the price of professionality? And professionals have to turn to LFS?
