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.

  1. Glad I don't run Linux by Russ1642 · · Score: 0, Troll

    It's threads like this that make me glad I don't run Linux. Childish bickering in the Linux community is rampant.

  2. Why do people care so much? by Guspaz · · Score: 0, Troll

    I don't get all the hate for systemd, because I don't understand why anybody cares. I turn on the machine, it boots up, stuff runs, web pages get served an files get shared. Who cares what's handling the launching of startup processes?

  3. Shut up and listen... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    Thanks for all the links to your shitty blog. It's completely useless to everyone, but at least you tried.
