systemd unifies

I really like where the low level plumbing in Linux is going in systemd. It is rapidly unifying the low level Linux infrastructure and meaningless differences between the distro's are disappearing. This is the much needed boost userspace needs to get more programs developed for Linux. In a systemd future you don't have to build 9 different packages to service the different distro's. Maybe you need to put your package in 9 different containers, but the underlying Linux system will be largely identical.

Definitely. As a software dev I hate fractured/multiple solutions with a passion. And systemd typically also provides a better alternative.

I wonder what network software is systemd about to replace? I'm clueless about the (Linux / any OS) network stacks.

As for systemd-networkd it's not about to replace something rather it fills a gap. It's primarily aimed at managing networking inside containers. All the other network daemons like NetworkManager are huge and bloated (NM is bigger than all of systemd combined probably) and are designed for desktop interactivity.

And for the end user, I'm having a pretty great time as well. My boot speeds are noticably faster - really pleasant and I'm on some old SATA drives. My network is resumed so much faster, too.

I'm sure there will be someone crying foul about the continued systemD package gobbling practices but it aint gonna be me.

I use it on my desktop PC, where I have just a simply DHCP ethernet connection. It acquires a lease in 5 ms instead of 500-600 ms with network manager. On my laptop I need to manage wifi and ethernet connections which require authorization so I have to use NetworkManager for that.

Imagine a company spinning up thousand of containers every day 365 days a year. Having the container up and running 500 ms faster sums up to hundreds of hours where these services can actually make money. Companies will love systemd-networkd.

NM has grown a whole bunch of server oriented features including bridging etc and hardly desktop specific anymore. Having said that, systemd-networkd doesn't have any wifi capabilities yet. So one is not a complete replacement for another.

will fedora installer finally support pppoe ?

I can't wait.

When the photo editor and antivirus functions will be integreted in systemd ?
