I'm going to create a distro where EVERYTHING including your web browser is launched through systemd and it's built from nothing but snaps, just for you guys. I'll call it "Oops! All snaps."
Sounds great. SnapOS.
ThanOS
What the hell? Half of the bytes on my drive are missing!
They are snapped out of existence.
It should have a custom desktop environment called Crackle (or Krackle if KDE based).
System sounds are snaps, cracks and pops.
Just have to patch in the Linux sound drivers from the 90s!
SnapOS sounds better than the current hybrid that is Ubuntu.
It seems like that is where Canonical wants to end up anyways, its going to be very weird to see a non Debian Ubuntu.
You could call it... Ubuntu 24.10 the way things are going lol
What's with all the systemd hate? It seems to work well for me..
Don't forget the development issues. Last I read up on this was several years ago, so things may have changed, but:
It's open source, but it's entirely controlled by a handful of people who work for RedHat, and they don't publish any of their communications about development nor any supporting material like code documentation. It's a massive complicated codebase and they've made no effort to make it accessible, nor do they allow contributions from anyone outside the RedHat team, so it remains a closed black box controlled by a private, for profit corporation.
It's open source in the worst way possible.
More information on this here:
tl;dr: systemd parsed kernel command line information; when "debug" was present, systemd enabled logging that was so verbose that it would cause the system to become unbootable. systemd developers were notified of the issue and started acting passive aggressive instead of fixing the issue.
Or to put it more simply: if you make changes that cause Linus Torvalds' system to stop booting properly, you're probably gonna have a bad time.
Oh SNAP!
Chaotic evil
I want an OS where every application is a web app, each packaged with their own browser running in docker in a snap.
The systemd devs should create a desktop environment so they can make an entire distro with nothing but systemd from bootloader to screensaver.
I'm personally waiting for kerneld
desktopd here we goooooooooo
Just got to hope that Canonical will host all of the software for it on their Snap repository (singular) I don't think they'd object to it but that is a big issue with snap, you can't add other repositories and the server code isn't open source.
That's the actual plan. They are working on moving system components like cups to a snap
please add a trigger warning!
