Okay, here it is guys (and gals).
I don't think I like systemd; I like to tinker and hack and systemd will not allow me to do that.
Who's smart idea was it to just put it in the distribution? At least with not offering an alternate?
I still have not made up my mind, but the fact that I can't touch it and hack it from the command-line, and the fact that it is all BINARY, gives me the hibby-jibbeys...
So I'd like to hear from some people who have used Unix for a while (because Linux is a Unix clone, whether the systemd fanboys want to admit it to themselves or not). I don't mind talking to systemd fanboys either, as long as they are willing to listen to my point of view.
What I don't like, and will not accept, is being told to use another distro. I've been using OpenSuSE since I dropped Caldera Linux, and I've always liked OpenSuSE. And I believe being a loyal SuSE follower (as well as the 600th CNE), I deserve to have an audience with the powers that be.
So help me understand what systemd does for me that the init scripts did not.
BTW, I've finally got MATE on my OpenSuSE box, and I like it. GNOME 3.x unfortunately seems to be an almost copy of the Windows 8 START screen.
