    I have been a Linux user since 2000.

    All your chat is about technical issues, and both sides allways talk about the technical pros and cons of each system.

    But i remember reading when debian team changed to systemd the arguments included these: 1- now Linux works like Windows and we do not like it. 2- now all depends on the systemd team, while init gives more freedom, so started devuan. 3- init and systemd can do the same but…here all the technical blah blah. By the way, if devuan exists and works well… 4- last and not least, systemd lets lock out the system (distro).

    I am not an IT guy, just an user…so an ignorant. My questions: are those statements still valid or wrong? Even today the number 4 gets mi confused, it is, or was, a real reason?

    Sorry my wording, my first language is not English.
