@SteveBellovin The Steve Jobs quote is spot on. The Linux 'user land' developers do not want "Unix" architecture for free they want "Windows" architecture for free. They learned to program on windows, they grew up using windows, they "get" windows, they "want" windows but without the gatekeeping of Microsoft.
Once you understand *that*, you understand systemd and all of the other tasteless things that have become part of distributions.
