If systemd is as bad as people say, why did every major distro adopt it?

Honestly, it has been so dramatic to read about this - why did it go through almost everywhere if there are such concerns? Are the concerns unfounded?

Just because people are adding it to things doesn’t mean it’s any good. Most distros pipe all of their audio over TCP for absolutely no good reason too, also at the hands of Pottering.

I recently read that sending audio over tcp was untenable and that Udp was the only way to go (at least for streaming)

Tell that to Pulse Audio.

Because most people want a Lindows, not Linux. And a Lindows they got, with many pros and cons of Windows. Linux users will always be a minority because Linux is about tinkering and customization instead of a consistent corporation-concocted UX.
