No shit. “More” is technically correct. “A metric fuckton more” conveys the appropriate scale. It’s not like systemd added a handful small features, it has subsumed nearly everything between kernel and userland. (Note that proponents usually point this out as a good thing; It’s uncontested, you just seem blissfully unaware)

Have you considered that we don’t think any of those are “good points” worthy of comment?

Nope, but “more” doesn’t adequately capture the scale of it. Given that you talk about a predecessor (singular) I presume systems programming is not your specialty?

Ahem, it does a ton more than merely “initiate booting” (logging, time, user management, device management, the list is long and it is really hard to find a piece of basic system functionality it hasn’t subsumed), please don’t spread misinformation.

Come on, that’s pure ragebait… It’s not like it"s hard to search for all the different reasons… https://nosystemd.org/ collects a few in semi-coherent form. The short answer is: It combines a lot of previously independent systems responsibilities under one umbrella organization that holds decidedly strong opinions and is not exactly open to criticism.

I agree, but then I’m one of those really hardcore libre-software-only nutcases ;-)

EDIT: Though, to be fair, the Trident Missiles they carry are US-made, too, so…

(Though, of course, that’s alledgedly simplifying a lot to make it more click-bait-y: https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/no-trident-doesnt-run-windows-xp/ )

Nice April 1st. I mean that’d be almost as ridiculous as running nuclear subs on Windows, right? Long EOL’d versions at that, eh?

Oh.

Somehow I expect a “GUI+Mouse is clearly better and thus your suggestions are worthless” response :-P

I wish people realized that there are vastly different possible approaches to different tasks and that one can be a lot less disappointed/stressed/angry by accepting one may have to learn a different paradigm once one has chosen to (semi-)commit to a new piece of tech…

Frankly: You come across less as “I am missing these features in many Linux file managers” and more like “I tried the default filemanager of my Linux distro and am angry the UX isn’t identical to that of Windows”. That’s not going to garner you much sympathy. Of the things you listed, I’d only consider a “preview” pane (that I’d rather not have, because of the security implications of having a separate potentially vulnerable parser that may receive less dev attention when issues are found) and maybe a “recent panel” (Not sure what one needs that for, I’d rather my system not track my actions so blatantly easy to find) actual features, and, yeah, quite a few Linux file managers can do something like those, obviously.

It must be good crap (technical term) ;-)

I’m not going to watch a video about it; But I assume the name is inspired by Neal Stephenson’s Anathem? That’d make sense…

Ouch, LFS of all things… That’s harsh.
