Linus Torvalds says he has no strong opinions on systemd


Quote:
Linux creator Linus Torvalds is well-known for his strong opinions on many technical things. But when it comes to systemd, the init system that has caused a fair degree of angst in the Linux world, Torvalds is neutral.

"When it comes to systemd, you may expect me to have lots of colourful opinions, and I just don't," Torvalds told iTWire in an interview. "I don't personally mind systemd, and in fact my main desktop and laptop both run it.

In a reference to a spat he had with Kay Sievers, one of the main developers of systemd, Torvalds added: "Now, I don't get along with some of the developers and think they are a bit too cavalier about bugs and compatibility, but I'm also very much not in the camp of people who hate the very thought of systemd."

Torvalds also answered a number of other questions, both technical and general, in his usual straightforward no-nonsense way. An edited transcript follows. Thanks are due to my UNIX guru Peter Giorgilli who suggested a number of questions.

Considering Linus is typically opinionated on items such as this, I'm a little surprised here.

Cheers, I'll close this as a dupe.
