Sad news today: systemd-resolved to be deployed in Ubuntu 16.10
I have used Linux (mainly Ubuntu) exclusively for years and love it. I do some devops when needed, run a few websites etc. Granted, I&#x27;m not a full-time sysadmin but I do plenty of work with Linux.<p>I don&#x27;t understand why systemd is taking over or what benefit it has bought. It works for now, is that enough?<p>It feels like a monstrosity of overly complex and questionable design. Yet, it spreads. Throwing &quot;unix philosophy&quot;, a most agreeable set of ideas, out the window.<p>Maybe I&#x27;m just being reactionary and slow to adapt.
