Call to clean up history and controversy section

I would offer to clean up and fix the historical and controversy section, but Wikipedia lately has become so rigid that any changes I've made (even minor ones) are rolled back. Not worth my time to help Wikipedia in this manner any more. RyanNerd (talk) 03:59, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Citations for the increasing complexity claim?

It seems to say systemd depends on Gnome? Citation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ehrlichja (talk • contribs) 22:24, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, the coupling to which it refers is that GNOME depends on systemd. Perhaps it should state that more explicitly, indicating that the coupling is a one-dimensional dependency. Guy Harris (talk) 22:49, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

List of Linux distros without Systemd

I came here looking for a list of distros with sysvinit/openrc intact and NO systemd. Hope someone works a article which is meant for us, millions of *nix users who want to see a sane system without systemd. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.68.127.11 (talk) 18:37, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There are couple of web forum threads and a blog entry dedicated to this (and related), links to which I've collected here for easy reference: http://ciar.org/ttk/public/systemd.html TTK (talk) 20:59, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mention of Linus and Kay

I edited the sentence a bit. The criticism of Linus was not about systemd; in a video discussion, he said that he does not care overly much about systemd itself, in one way or the other. So the problem with Kay is not about systemd at all but about patches and modifications sent to the linux kernel itself, NOT systemd. It can perhaps be mentioned in the main article BUT it is not the main topic for systemd here since it is peripheral to the topic at hand. 2A02:8388:1600:A880:BE5F:F4FF:FECD:7CB2 (talk) 19:35, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

sysv-rc-conf for systemd

Clean overview: *sysv-rc-conf* creates and deletes the symlinks used by sysv

Is there something similar to sysv-rc-conf for systemd? Since its configuration by far exceeds the complexity of that of sysv, I would deem it necessary. As soon as somebody writes such a program, this should be documented in the Wikipedia. User:ScotXW^t@lk 13:39, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
