    There can’t be single obvious green path for a lot of complex things and most of the things that we do on computers actually are complex like that. I would think that user friendliness is more of an indicator of a sane default behaviour or something that people already are taught to expect. Balancing that is even harder i think.















  • Interesting, I’ve worked on car infotainment system for a short while, it was based on yocto, I think, and it was build with systemd support, tbh not once developers had a problem with resources on that thing, a lot of problems were with safety and regulatory requirements.

    Before that I had an experience with wind river based system for network appliance and there were no systemd but that was when systemd was still a new thing.

    Modern hardware is extremely powerful and has a lot of resources, I think there is some project that runs more or less standard linux on esp32.


  • That’s pretty niche use-case devices that can run linux but at the same tume limited enough that systemd is the bottleneck. I do get it that running systemd on some embedded devices makes little sense.

    Systemd has stable API so nothing stops other systems from implementing parts of it that interest them, thing is, *bsds aren’t interested or resource constrained so much that they can’t.
