I'll keep it relatively brief for fearing unwieldiness.
I agree. I hope you're not implying I'm stating otherwise.
More like Red Hat pushed it as the new standard and the rest followed suit. Distro maintainers are pragmatic and reasonable people. They'll more often than not go for the path of least resistance.
A clear cut example of this would be how most distros don't opt for btrfs in combination with time shift or snapper for snapshot functionality. So clearly, they are not really trying to offer the best solution. Instead they just try to push a system that's as easy as they come for them to maintain and act accordingly.
And we already had one: SysVinit. Don't try to rewrite history.
I initially started writing a reply on the remaining text but noticed that my writings were continued to be misunderstood. Therefore, I decided to retract any further reply and will choose to stop engaging in this conversation. Thank you for the engagement. However, I would like to offer a small piece of advice as a fellow Lemmy user:
In future conversations, whether they are debates or discussions, please try to understand what the other person is saying. Avoid creating a straw man argument. If needed, ask for clarifications to ensure you fully grasp their point. If you continue to have difficulty understanding, consider alternative approaches to gain a better understanding.
I don't know how this conversation deteriorated, but I'll let it be. Thank you once more. For the record, I don't think this conversation will be productive moving forward. You seem to be focused on your own points without trying to understand the other side, which is fine. You don't have to try to understand me; I may not be important. However, the ideas I try to convey might be, and it's more important to consider and understand those.
Anyhow, I wish you the best.
