Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

I think the community has moved on without you then.
You missed the point where I said "...and move on."
The fact that I dislike it doesn't change the fact that it's prevalent, and so I use systemd every day.
It's the same with any technology I need. Ansible is a mostly awful language, but I need it to do my job, so I buckle down and use it. Git is...well actually git is pretty awesome.
A decade (or two?) ago, perl was the language of choice for complex admin tasks, despite being a nightmare to maintain. Now we have mostly moved to python and ruby, which are generally much better.
My point is that just because a standard (process, tool, etc.) is flawed, we don't refuse to use it; and conversely, just because we use a tool doesn't make it immune to valid criticism.

Hah! That made my day. I'd high five you, but I hurt all over from fencing last night. :-)
Is that really a valid counter argument though? We could say most computer users use windows, doesn't necessarily make it a better os choice.
Yes the community has decided, fair enough, op has already said let's move on. People that have been around for a bit longer than most here and have seen and used Linux from the very beginning are still entitled to an opinion.
