...so I have all my religion chips left to play at this table.
For another, yes, I do actually have grave technical doubts about it.
And on the gripping hand: Don't panic, but Linux's Systemd can be pwned via an evil DNS query, Create a user called '0day', get bonus root privs – thanks, Systemd!, You love Systemd – you just don't know it yet, wink Red Hat bods, The D in Systemd stands for 'Dammmmit!' A nasty DHCPv6 packet can pwn a vulnerable Linux box, The D in SystemD stands for Danger, Will Robinson! Defanged exploit code for security holes now out in the wild... Well, no, those were just what I found while looking for https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/01/31/systemd_exploit/ -- and once I found that, I realised it wasn't actually an El Reg article I was remembering. (Maybe it was this one: Systemd-Homed: Systemd Now Working to Improve Home Directory Handling.)
Anyway, TL;DR: This thing seems to be an ever-growing Kraken, getting its tentacles into anything and everything, and that in itself feels very non-Unixy. I was thinking to install the OS named for that Moomin guy -- you know, Linux? If this Kraut wants people to use his stuff in stead, let him start his own OS. He can call it Lennax or something, if he still wants to have people get it mixed it up with Linux.
