Yeah I'm considering switching to FreeBSD or even OpenBSD (if it would be possible to play some of my games on it). I don't want to switch really, but if systemd is going to be the default init system from here on and it continues to be plagued by bullshit like this then I don't really want to be bothered by it. (FYI I currently use Arch Linux, one of the early adopters of systemd).


Speaking of FreeBSD, weren't they supposed to be adopting launchd? What's the progress on that?


Someone with better freebsd knowledge should chime in, but until then... It is my understanding that the launchd port was one guys google summer project, he worked on it for the summer, put it aside for a couple years and picked it up recently.

The fbsd wiki on launchd: https://wiki.freebsd.org/launchd


Googling tells me that they have been working on porting it and apparently it is more or less done but not yet the default.
