Re: The Danger of Systemd

On Mon, 04 Feb 2019 15:12:20 +0000, flyer vomited this verbiage that I
considered to be worthy of my attention for one of a variety of possible
reasons:

That's a very good question.  There is little essential information
about such things.

The "d" suffix stands for "daemon," or, "demon."

A daemon is a running program whose sole purpose is to stand by
in the background and "listen" for certain system occurrences and
then to respond accordingly.

Some computer users may find such daemons to be welcome because
they enjoy the supposed "magic" which they bring.

Other computer users may find such daemons to be entirely useless
clutter that complicate both their understanding and control of
their own systems.

The truth is that ALL daemons, without exception, are purely
OPTIONAL on a GNU/Linux system and their presence or absence
should be the free choice of the user.

Systemd eliminates that free choice.
