    For me it’s 3 things

    • Do one thing and do it well
    • Everything is a file in Linux
    • human readable logs

    Systemd breaks all three of though by being monolithic and binary. It actually makes you have to jump through more hoops to do things in certain cases. I understand it’s a mindset shift but it really starts making it feel more like Windows with how it works and the registry and event log.

      I don’t see how systemd has anything like the Windows registry. At least its journals are leagues ahead of Windows event logs, I hate those things and the awful viewer they have.

      You forgot: use as many dependencies as you need. For example, my init system does not use xz-utils.
