    I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact Systemd/Linux, or as i’ve recently taken to calling it, Systemd plus Linux.

    Minor notes, then we can begin implementation

    Only systemd is in PID1, login, journal, etc are their own PIDs

    Surely we’d use pipewired, not pulseaudiod

    Graphics and system ram may be unified, so we need a RAMArbitord that is shared between the main kernel and DRM blocks

    This post is amusing and funny, but personally I love systemd and I was also very fond of PulseAudio that brought massive improvements at the time.
    Lennart Poettering is absolutely a hero of Linux and Open Source, and helping Linux as a full blown high quality OS get to where it is today. Stronger and better than ever!!! Contrary to other major operating systems that suffer from serious Enshittification.

      SystemD itself was fine. Not great but better than what we had and I was happy with what it did.

      But then it started to sprawl and take over things it had no business doing.

      At this point I am no longer using the Linux kernel, I’m using the SystemD kernel, and as soon as Poettering feels like it he can simply sell the rights to SystemD to a big corpo like Microsoft once everything fully depends on it.

      However some still prefer System V init, and I think Gentoo still uses that as default, I suppose because they find it better (easier to use) for tinkerers that micro-control everything.

      Typical Systemd guy only knowing about SysV.

      I’d wager most folks aren’t even sure why systemd was “controversial” and don’t remember a time before it, but are instead just jumping on systemd implementing age as a field.

        A lot of the controversy against systemd was pure bullshit.

        but are instead just jumping on systemd implementing age as a field.

        My guess is you are right, but age verification is not an idea of systemd, implementing it is an attempt at making it possible to fulfill a legal requirement by some countries. It’s stupid, but stupid is now planned to be legally required in some countries.

          Yep, turns out technology enthusiasts who have a vested interest in an operating system are an opinionated bunch

    You had the chance to call it SystemdOSd and somehow you missed it. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

    Also why aren’t you including the most important piece, systemd-antivirusd?

      I have no idea where the antivirus came from?
      OP uses actual examples of systemd functionality.
      I have never used nor needed an antivirus on Linux. And I haven’t heard that systemd should have anything special in that area either.

        Antivirus in the classical sense is an outdated concept anyway.
        Nowadays, if you want to protect your system, you need endpoint protection that supervises everything with system-level root access and only allows whitelisted processes to run.

    I honestly thought systemd-homed seemed like a pretty sweet idea, last time I heard about it. Of course it was mostly just people screaming how systemd was literally hitler for even suggesting it

      Almost every project under systemd umbrella is great, most distros really underutilize it’s capabilities.

      Absolutely, but I guess the joke is that Pulseaudio was also a project headed by Lennart Poettering.
      Pulse was much hated by some, but actually brought substantial improvements to the Linux audio stack at the time.

      The transition to Pipewire however has been amazingly smooth by comparison. I haven’t detected any downsides, and the switch caused zero issues.
