Re: It's fascinating that Linux now has the same problem as Windows
"even by doing exactly what Microsoft did wrong 20 years ago, like binary log files and highly opaque service management."
Binary log files are actually there to make the system more secure since they store more data, index data, rollover properly, detect corruption and tampering through signing. If you want text files in addition to or instead of binary it is a simple matter of reading the man page to enable them if you so desire.
