here you go: systemd is so much better then sysv-init, it's not even funny

I really can't take people serious that think sysv-init was the superior system. I mean for real, have you ever worked with it and all it's shortcomings? It wasnt even a system, it was a bunch of bad init scripts

I've been using it since I started using Linux 26 years ago until Ubuntu switched to upstart and then systemD.

It did the job and was very easy to work with. I knew what the scripts did and I could write my own. And it didn't ask for a date of birth either.

Nobody argued that sysv was better.

Just that there are other options, apart from systemd.

It was a bunch of bad init scripts, but it was our bunch of bad init scripts.
