Right, you've already convinced me. How and where do I start? Can you recommend some links/resources please?
Yeah, I was having a whinge about it here the other day. Just a sec while I dig up the corpse...
Systemd* removes choice*, and it was designed to do so. That is why there is so much anger. It is bad software design, by design. It flies in the face of the core linux principles, all in the name of homogenising the linux ecosystem, and you know exactly which big corporations benefit from that.
The simple fact is: today, if I want to run a mainstream distro without Systemd, I cannot. Its cancerous tentacles run so deep that decoupling it from a mainstream distro, and keeping it decoupled, is a full time job.
Instead I have no choice but to run a smaller, less featured, less secure and less funded alternative. Good luck getting Gnome to work without systemd.
Full credit to Devuan, MxLinux, Artix, and the other united underdogs.
Fuck you Redhat/IBM and your proxy evil-doer Lennart.
But if you want to read more about how why others hate systemd, there's no shortage of material:

Right, that's it. I'm going back to Reddit

I don't think it's a 'culture'; it's not something people choose to do. There's just a lot people out there who aren't as familiar with English as you.
This. And people commenting "This."
Nice try, American person.
I'm a linux developer of 25+ years and I'm permanently banned from /r/linux because I dared criticize systemd.
My answer is therefore: Power-tripping mods. Where mods are required, ensure the community has the ability to oust them.
Huge fan of Peter Molyneux. I still fondly remember my when my favorite game studio was Bullfrog. However, the last time Peter teased a new project it was the farcical What's inside the cube. They they never paid out the winner.
100% guaranteed this is going to be something really cool, or a steaming pile of poo.
How much of this free labor will be directly benefiting RedHat/IBM?
Ah right, I see. Sounds like you're making the right choices in the context of your unfortunate situation. Yeah, playing games pretty much rules out a remote desktop setup. Sorry I don't have any more answers to your questions, but you're clearly asking the right ones.
Will do, cheers!
