    AFAIK: Development at AMD funded the dev to make it support AMD GPUs (instead of the then-supported Intel GPUs), Dev keeps a clause saying any and all work will remain open even if contract is cancelled, work is then halted by AMD and dev releases his updates on his repo, Legal then says later that the clause was not legally binding and can’t be enforced or such, making dev rollback to earlier Intel version





  • Containers, the concept that Docker implements, lets app developers give a self-contained environment for distribution. For devs that means consistency in deployments across environments, which in turn means sysadmins can deploy each of these apps as fully isolated units.

    With that, you get really clean installs/updates/uninstalls, and your deployments get done with a well-defined, declarative definition file which can also handle multi service dependencies (a la Docker Compose/K8s)

    Because systemd (the project) extends more than just systemd (the init system). It also includes things like:

    • systemd-journald (system logging)
    • systemd-timesyncd (Network Time Sync)
    • NetworkManager systemd-networkd (network interface/connection management)
    • systemd-homed (Home directory management)
    • systemd-resolved (DNS Resolver)

    and so many more

    Now, in my personal opinion, I do find it good in that these being under one umbrella project led to fairly good integration between these aspects of “system management” as a whole. But I do also concede that this may feel like too many responsibilities handled by one project
