Ubuntu 15.04 Received Well By Linux Community
jones_supa writes: Canonical released Ubuntu 15.04 a couple of weeks ago, and it seems that this release has been a success. The community is mostly reporting a nice experience, which is important since this is the first Ubuntu release that uses systemd instead of upstart. At Slashdot, people have been very nervous about systemd, and last year it was even asked to say something nice about it. To be fair, Ubuntu 15.04 hasn't changed all that much. Some minor visual changes have been implemented, along with a couple of new features, but the operating system has remained pretty much the same. Most importantly it is stable, fast, and it lacks the usual problems accompanied by new releases.
Don't think so. I am not going to let the systemd cancer on my systems, but I am not going to run Ubuntu either. Many of those not liking systemd are in the higher competence class and/or run things like Debian on servers. An Ubuntu-release is not going to reach most of these people at all.
Most ACs are not even worth the keystrokes to insult them. Be generically insulted by this and ignored otherwise.
But the fact you treat Unix commands as some sort of magic, means you never understood the most powerful part of Linux, and it's enough to write off your flippant comment to begin with.
Lol! So your answer to his charge that you Linux users are all hipsters is to respond with "You're just not cool enough to understand, man"?
Fucking perfect!
Red Hat is operating right out of Microsoft's playbook.
Remember when Microsoft was buddy-buddy with Apple, and IBM?
Once Linux is completely dependent on Red Hat controlled technologies, Red Hat will always be two steps ahead of the competition, it will be seriously difficult for Linux users to use anything except Red Hat.
What happens when Red Hat decides there is no reason for more than one package management solution? Red Hat will say that users demanded one standardized package management, and systemd will only work if Red Hat's solution is installed. Wait for it.
You should learn what Free Software is, because right now you look like an idiot.
The GPL prevents the kind of control you're talking about, and systemd is licensed under the GPL.
Plus systemd contains a PID 1 daemon so what you say doesn't make any sense.
