I would believe that you can't read mail from your wintendo system, given that you post with a windows-only newsreader. But that would be your problem and a windows problem. Which is also your problem

Anyone stupid enough to accept it will reject all counterarguments for its usefulness. Systemd is RedHat's attempt to foist a universal API, under its total control and for its own profit, onto the Linux ecosystem. This fact may not be that surprising, but what is surprising, if not shocking, is the rapid acquiescence demonstrated by all major distros to RedHat's wishes. Distro maintainers are now the slaves and lackeys of RedHat. Although unlikely, the only salvation for free software will be the GNU HURD OS under strict control by GNU and the FSF.

No problem at all, never crashes. systemd gives you more security issues, this much due of it's bad habit to eat other projects, compared with the other init systems out there, we haven't seen as much of security issues as we have done in systemd. Of course the security issues do not make your server to crash or not boot, just makes it possible that someone else uses your server for other things than you had in mind, as many of the security issues has been remotely exploitable. -- //Aho

That doesn't follow. However, if the distribution I use would ignore reported security issues related to systemd, then I would be worried. As they are using system in production servers in their business products, I don't worry. However, the claim in this thread is that "mail failed" and of course, it has to be systemd, wihout even looking :-p Given that, I claim that mine works without any trouble for years. :-) -- Cheers, Carlos.

Not all security issues are found by the developers themselves or in this case the distributions maintainers, there could be a number of security issues no one on the "good side" knows, but someone on the other side do, this of course do not just apply to systemd but any other software out there. What we know is that systemd is discovered to have really serious security issues, not that long time ago that they found a remote code execution issue. Even if the issue is patched, it don't mean that there ain't unpatched machines out there. > However, the claim in this thread is that "mail failed" and of course, > it has to be systemd, wihout even looking :-p Didn't comment on the microsoft windows users flawed claim but what Russell wrote. > Given that, I claim that mine works without any trouble for years. :-) Sure, there are people still running microsoft windows xp and it's been working for them. -- //Aho

I agree. The VPS host I use has done away with the non-systemd Debian, so now the only non-systemd I can go to is OpenBDS. OpenBDS is very good, but I am going to have to learn OpenBDS commands now.

For most part, the fact that Debian wishes to continue supporting GNOME, which has more or less always been the default Debian desktop environment. systemd, GNOME/GDM and GTK+ are all developed at RedHat, and Lennart Poettering, the developer of systemd, asked the GNOME/GDM developers to make systemd into a hard dependency of GNOME/GDM. So without systemd -- and most specifically, logind, which is part of the systemd suite -- you cannot have GNOME 3 on your system anymore. Given that systemd is tied to the Linux kernel, this also implies that GNOME 3 cannot be used on any other UNIX variants than GNU/Linux anymore. Personally I have no affection for GNOME -- nor for GTK, for that matter -- but being able to continue supporting GNOME is very important to the Debian council. -- With respect, = Aragorn =

I hear you. :) I've been a KDE fan since the beginning, and I"m running Plasma 5.14.5 right now, albeit with a theme and customizing that makes it look quite different from the default look & feel. ;) -- With respect, = Aragorn =
