But for example replacing sudo is needed.

Seriously asking: what’s wrong with Sudo? And aren’t there already loads of alternatives?

systemd nightmare needs to end. Too many broken garbage from malicious actors within the opensource community.

Just as an experiment, get every distro to have at least 2 or 3 SysVInit / runit / rc.init alternatives, and you will see a MASS Migration back to SysVInit. Bash/shell script init functions were really dead simple and almost unbreakable/hackerproof.

Systemd really needs to be thrown in the garbage dumps of history so we can finally have a UNIX-like boot back.

If systemd is as bad as you claim why did nearly every distro switch to it?

Corpo sabotage of opensource. So many community projects are under the thumb of corpo insiders. It was a “cash-grab” a way to shoehorn and takeover an essential but mostly unchanged and stable Init system. And they shimmed that into everything they could ram it into with no options or alternatives.

As someone who writes bash scripts, fuck no, this is a terrible language and it shouldn’t be used for anything more complex than sticking two programs together.

Also, parallelism goes right out of the window.

Maybe you’d convince me with a real programming language.

That just made me imagine a Rust rewrite of systemd

Any time I see a grognard seriously suggest going back to bash for anything exceeding 10 lines of code it makes me very happy none of them are in control.

that’s some high ammount of copium from someone that never made a distro

I suppose doas is a pretty great alternative.

Smaller code is often good, but not always.

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
