Re: How many people have actually tried systemd ?
I'm curious after the recent storm about systemd to find out how many people have actually tried to use it?
It doesn't magically solve the problem of X crashing once every 1 to 4 weeks, it doesn't make me a cup of coffee in the morning[1], it isn't bigger on the inside then the outside, and my time machine is still on the blink. Nor does it stop strangers having loud arguments outside my office window.
I think my latest ubuntu14.04 uses it, I haven't noticed any difference, life progresses from day to day in endless cycles of sunshine and rain. The terminal command for coffee is [go-coffee-now.sh] then you go get it yourself. My new bus does get better mileage thanks to systemd. Roger

Unless you opted in, I think not. AFAICT Ubuntu still defaults to upstart: $ grep -e upstart -e systemd ubuntu-meta-*/minimal-amd64 ubuntu-meta-1.197/minimal-amd64:upstart ubuntu-meta-1.267.1/minimal-amd64:upstart ubuntu-meta-1.267/minimal-amd64:upstart ubuntu-meta-1.308/minimal-amd64:upstart ubuntu-meta-1.325/minimal-amd64:upstart ubuntu-meta-1.327/minimal-amd64:upstart The only mention of systemd I see is in 14.10: ubuntu-meta-1.325/debian/changelog: * Added libpam-systemd to desktop That pulls in "systemd" (on desktop installs), but prefers "systemd-shim" over "systemd-sysv" -- the package that actually makes systemd the default init. Neither "systemd" nor "systemd-sysv" exist (as binary packages) in trusty: $ rmadison -uubuntu systemd systemd-sysv systemd | 204-5ubuntu20 | trusty | source systemd | 204-5ubuntu20.7 | trusty-updates | source systemd | 208-8ubuntu1 | ubuntu-rtm/14.09 | source, amd64, armhf, i386 systemd | 208-8ubuntu8 | utopic | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc, ppc64el systemd-sysv | 208-8ubuntu1 | ubuntu-rtm/14.09/universe | amd64, armhf, i386 systemd-sysv | 208-8ubuntu8 | utopic/universe | amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc, ppc64el NB: I haven't done an *ACTUAL* install of ubuntu 14.04, so the above might all be misleading if e.g. ubiquity has changed how it does installs again.
