Are you intentionally misrepresenting this or are you actually missing these? Also: This isn’t about diskspace. Obviously every halfway modern PC can provide the disk space to house the systemd binaries. Disk is cheap but crucially not necessarily tied to complexity. A simple application can take Gigs and still be simple if it includes a lot of resources (graphical, audio, whatever). And a very complex thing can “only” take a few megabytes if it only includes code. Like systemd does.
Note that I am a (mostly) happy user of systemd. I am just annoyed at people misrepresenting facts to fight anti-systemd-bullshit.
It’s weird ldd didn’t find libssytemd.so !
I have an old system, apparently libsystemd-core and libsystemd-shared weren’t a thing back in 2021 on … ubuntu focal
Well it is also a massive executable in the mix there
Did you accidentally forget A) the .so files these binaries link against and B) the actual systemd daemon binary?
