This article contains one of my pet peeves, in which it says “Leading kernel developers like Linus Torvalds and Greg Kroah-Hartman both enthusiastically praise systemd”, and then links to a talk in which Linus says only that he doesn’t hate it, but that it has quirks. It would be very hard to construe the comments made in the linked video as “enthusiastic praise”, but most people will assume it does, given the link.
Conversely, given what Torvalds usually says about stuff he dislikes…. That’s probably about as close to “Enthusiastic Praise” as you’re gonna get. :-D
Linus says only that he doesn’t hate it, but that it has quirks
Yeah, “has quirks”, eh? I figured he just wanted to avoid getting involved in the fight. But how could someone so serious about good software engineering practices not dislike systemd?
I’m convinced systemd represents some sort of malignant takeover of the Linux ecosystem.

Interesting article none-the-less.

One might hope that something as objective as tech and code would bring more objective journalism, but this does not seem to be the case.
