The diversity of Linux distributions is one of its strengths, but it can also be challenging for app and game development. Where do we need more standards? For example, package management, graphics APIs, or other aspects of the ecosystem? Would such increased standards encourage broader adoption of the Linux ecosystem by developers?

      My experience with systemd has been the opposite. Thanks to systemd, many core tools have consistent names and CLI behaviors.

      Before systemd I used sysVinit, upstart and various other tools.

      I’m glad systemd alternatives exist as part of a diverse Linux ecosystem but I haven’t had a compelling reason to not use systemd.
