So I'm confused. I'm getting a lot of mixed information via Google. As of today, what is Ubuntu using going forward? Is Ubuntu choosing to use and support Upstart, or are they using Systemd?

I would like to get multiple responses if that's ok so I can statistically have a better chance of filtering through the opinions.

Thanks

They will support Upstart for as long as 14.04 is supported (until 2019), but systemd is the future, from 15.04 onwards. As of today: Upstart is used on the following supported releases:

  • 10.04
  • 12.04
  • 14.04
  • 14.10

15.04 is slated to use systemd (and the development builds have made the switch already). Ubuntu Touch, however, will continue to use Upstart in 15.04.

  • Do you have anything official from Ubuntu that I can read on this? Thanks for the reply.

  • @Atomiklan this blueprint for systemd migration has 15.04 as its release goal. I'll look for more documents.

  • FWIW systemd seems to work well in Fedora, but I anticipate some bumps as Debian / Ubuntu adopts it. Hope they will be minor.
