Can someone share the reasons why systemd generate so much hate ?
I seems to me that it is quite useful and easy to use.

#22It is for the good of all those that might have accidentally used #30D476 and #201A25, while quite obviously it is #30D475 and #201A26 Obviously a very good use of donators money and free software developers time.
> free software developers time
It's always amusing when the peanut gallery think they get to decide what other people spend their free time on.

Really? Like most projects, they have a logo. What's wrong with that?
A logo, a palette of colours, a typography, brand guidelines... all for an init system for Linux. They think they are fucking Coca Cola. If you don't think that's just insane... well I'm just getting old I guess.
They wrote down the details of how they made their logo; the typeface they used, the colors they used, and the reasoning behind it. I guess they could have just uploaded the design file.
I'm gonna guess this is the information Tobias Bernard (the designer) provided them after creating the logo. This is basic design/UI stuff in my mind.
I do find it a little funny they don't use 'systemd green' for the hyperlinks on the page, and instead use a different, similar color.

An init system is just one of many, many projects under the systemd umbrella. Perhaps you should learn more about a project before launching into criticism?
So pretty soon SystemD will add additional service of beverages and, like the Borg, assimilate Coca-Cola?

But I want your free time to provide value to me! And in return I'll nit-pick and forget to say thanks. Now, gimmie!

Seems pretty standard.. and while I appreciate that branding work, I feel like it's not like a ton of work or money went into it.
I've seen small-ish FOSS projects having long debates on uppercase vs lowercase in logos, libre fonts, etc. And why not, even if we don't always agree with the end result, art does tend to help build a community :)

My current thoughts on the matter here:
Re: Systemd Brand
#29Earlier quoted context omitted.
“system dee” like “collect dee” or “ess ess aitch dee”
That's what I thought, but why not write it as SystemD or system-d then?
Because it follows the tradition of suffixing daemon executables with "d", like httpd or sshd.

#30> The log of OS components successfully starting up, as indicated by the green [ OK ], is what many people already identify systemd with. This made it a natural choice to derive our visual identity from.
That's an interesting comment, since the green [ OK ] was in use for bootup messages long before systemd was a thing. Nothing about it says "systemd" to me.
