Explain this to a really new linux user (me lol)
Most distros use systemd to manage deamons (mini apps that run in background / sevices) like e.g. Bluetooth.
(those stuff you have to enable sometimes (systemctl enable my-new-app.service)
You can use systemd-manager to check it out using a GUI
This meme tells „imagine if windows would port Systemd to windows. Winsvc stands for Windows Service
also the creator of systemd went to work at mikrosoft
😮did not know that
Wait there is a GUI for SystemD? I had no idea
No, but one for systemd
Is that actually different? My phone autocorrected it like that.
Linux is case sensitive, so yeah
It is old, but it does not look bad in my opinion 😁 it is such a good overview, I don‘t know why KDE does not include it in its settings
Explain this to a long-time runit user... (Seriously, I'm lost)
Explain this to an OpenBSD rc user (there's no OpenBSDMemes)
Imagine if systemd was ported as the Windows init manager. (Memes about systemd being inspired by Windows with its bloat).
Systemd was actually a "clone" of apple's launchd. Similarities with windows arise from the fact that it makes sense to manage services in certain ways on modern OSs. Also services on windows are completely different from Linux and MacOS, they are even a different executable file format, not a normal exe.
I know lol. It was a joke, although I do think that in theory leaner systems like Runit are better. But I cannot dismiss some of the innovation/work done in systemd
Thank you!
The argument of Systemd being more and more like Windows-behind-the-hoods.
