Lurker here. Following this stuff for a couple of years, playing with Dejuan and its downstream variants with some success, some failures, but always interesting. I’m very empathetic to Steve Litt’s feelings on the systemd stuff, and am particularly inspired to reply to the latest missive on the possibility that Red Hat’s darling Mr. Poettering is primarily motivated to make Red Hat Enterprise lots of money in offering paid support of systemd Linux operations. As per politics, religion, educational prerogatives, and historical perspectives as officially endorsed, in the case of Linux and systemd, FOLLOW THE MONEY TRAIL. That nearly always works in tracing the sources of derision.
>From the perspective of a retired programmer/analyst, now dilletante, you Dejuan folks are on the precipice of success. See the forest over the trees, get your message out as an upstream solution to Linux in the enterprise - from servers to employee desktop/laptop solutions, there is no reason that systemd-free Linux alternatives can’t supplant the Red Hat, etc., cabal. They have MONEY, and that buys them exposure. My former employer, a major university, has bought Red Hat support hook, line, and sinker. You guys aren’t even on the radar. I only am aware of your position and offerings as an old fart hobbyist with time to explore. I wish you well. How can you compete with the power that is money that propagates Red Hat, Canonical, et al? That’s your main dilima right now, perhaps on the threshold of eclipsing your system development tasks.
