Systemd Adding Its Own Console To Linux Systems

Posted by Soulskill on from the if-you-want-something-done-right dept.

An anonymous reader writes: The next version of systemd is poised to introduce an experimental "systemd-consoled" that serves as a user-space console daemon. The consoled furthers the Linux developers' goal of eventually deprecating the VT subsystem found within the Linux kernel in favor of a user-space driven terminal that supports better localization, increased security, and greater robustness of the kernel's seldom touched and hairy CONFIG_VT'ed code.

    All systemd needs now is an integrated web browser and a registry!

  6. SYSTEMD is a BSOD by Jeremiah+Cornelius · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's not Metro.

    It's SVCHOST.EXE

    But that's a little too arcane, for people who neither debug their own system, or who are not security specialists of one stripe or another.

    How about "systemd is a BSOD" :-)

    systemd would make a great OS if it only had a decent init system

    Or you could use what we've been using for the past 20-30 years that has been debugged, proven to work and not completely different to the rest of the world.

    Like.... bash?
