Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

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 sudo in 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.

    It's too popular and it works too well.

    Not true, doesn't work well at all. It's bloated and full of bugs.

    I literally haven't run into a single one in the whole time Arch has been using it.

    (I installed Arch shortly before it switched to systemd and have been using it since without pause)

    You must be running hardware not older than 4 or 5 years. Try running it on hardware 10+ years old.

    What are the systemd bugs that are so bad? I kinda get the bloated comment, but I don't really mind when it serves its purpose

    Closing handles on services that for god knows what reason, just hang. Also stopping and starting services again doesn't always work as intended.

    That's interesting. I've never had any issues with systemd directly mainly with poorly setup default configs I'm a big fan of a centralised place to manage services. Works super well with podman quadlets

    But I'm not too invested use whatever works for you I reckon

    I'm also a fan of centralized places to handle things (I prefer having just one package manager, not the package manager and flatpak and pip and god knows what else), but there are other init/service managers.
