Examples of "systemd"
OpenRC was started in June 2014 as a version of Manjaro that omits
systemd
. Robert Storey of DistroWatch noted, "Manjaro OpenRC is mostly
systemd
free - it uses ConsoleKit2 instead of logind, and eudev instead of
systemd
-udev. However, it bundles some of the
systemd
libraries in a eudev-systemdcompat package, mostly due to how Arch packages
systemd
."
gummiboot is an open-source boot loader, now the
systemd
-boot component of
systemd
.
In the interest of enhancing the interoperability between
systemd
and the GNOME desktop environment,
systemd
coauthor Lennart Poettering asked the GNOME Project to consider making
systemd
an external dependency of GNOME 3.2.
The developers of
systemd
aimed to replace the Linux init system inherited from UNIX System V and Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) operating systems. Like init,
systemd
is a daemon that manages other daemons. All daemons, including
systemd
, are background processes.
Systemd
is the first daemon to start (during booting) and the last daemon to terminate (during shutdown).
In May 2011 Lennart Poettering proposed
systemd
as a GNOME dependency. As
systemd
is available only on Linux, the proposal led to a discussion of possibly dropping support for other platforms in future GNOME releases. Since GNOME 3.2 multiseat support has been only available on systems using
systemd
. In November 2012 the GNOME release team concluded that
systemd
can be relied upon for non-basic functionality.
In Linux distributions that use
systemd
, readahead binary (as part of the boot sequence) is replaced by
systemd
-readahead. However, support for readahead was removed from
systemd
in its version 219, being described as unmaintained and unable to provide expected performance benefits.
Container Linux uses ebuild scripts from Gentoo Linux for automated compilation of its system components, and uses
systemd
as its primary init system with tight integration between
systemd
and various Container Linux's internal mechanisms.
Poettering describes
systemd
development as "never finished, never complete, but tracking progress of technology". In May 2014, Poettering further defined
systemd
as aiming to unify "pointless differences between distributions", by providing the following three general functions:
Several replacement init implementations have been created, attempting to address design limitations in the standard versions. These include launchd, the Service Management Facility,
systemd
and Upstart; ,
systemd
has been adopted by several major Linux distributions although it remains controversial.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 introduces a new network naming scheme as part of
systemd
.
As of March, 2016, SLiM seems to be abandoned. It is not fully compatible with
systemd
.
Lately dracut gained the ability to use
systemd
as process 1 in the initramfs.
Version 1.16.0 integrates support for
systemd
-based launching and management which improved boot performance and reliability.
Lennart Poettering and Kay Sievers started the project to develop
systemd
in 2010.
In August 2015
systemd
started providing a login shell, callable via machinectl shell.
The design of
systemd
has ignited controversy within the free-software community. Critics regard
systemd
as overly complex and suffering from continued feature creep; they claim that its architecture violates the design principles of Unix-like operating systems. There is also concern that it forms a system of interlocked dependencies, thereby giving distribution maintainers little choice but to adopt
systemd
as more user-space software come to depend on its components.
GNOME has further integrated . As of Mutter version 3.13.2, is a dependency for Wayland sessions. There are plans to replace gnome-session with
systemd
, but
systemd
would "not" be running as PID 1 and gnome-session would remain available on non-Linux systems. Since
systemd
supports only Linux and cannot be easily ported to other operating systems due to the heavy use of Linux kernel APIs, there is a need to offer compatible APIs on other operating systems such as OpenBSD.
An open-source implementation is available, based on the udev mechanism now present in
systemd
.
In May 2011 Fedora became the first major Linux distribution to enable
systemd
by default.
There is support for
systemd
, Wayland, Hybris, and other current FOSS software.
