1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Literally nothing happens.

    Linux init conservatives: Alright that's the final straw, systemd!

    Just joined the openrc gang for good today

    Nah, artix. Although I did try gentoo out a while back on a spare laptop, I enjoyed it!

    Nice, another OpenRC distro I really like and have been daily-driving is Alpine Linux Damn thing is so snappy

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    I keep meaning to try that at some point

    [–] AkatsukiLevi 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Not everyone approves of it, not everyone likes it, and if you do have a Nvidia GPU, you might want to skip Alpine

    But it is a good distro, small to the point you can easily memorize every part of the system and how things click together

    OpenRC in it, as everything else, does the bare basic. RC only runs and manages your services and that's it. It doesn't try to be your DNS provider, it doesn't try to be your logs manager, it only deals with the services(which are bash scripts btw), and that's it

    I rock Alpine with XFCE4 and Pipewire, and its the most usable distro I've ever had There is also GNOME and KDE, but haven't tried them

    Only main issue with it, is that it uses MUSL instead of GlibC which, makes some softwares not work or must be compiled from source

    I'll have to try it out then, thanks

    On systemd.. first i am hearing about this. Am I in danger?

    Nothing I can find. The latest release has a "breaking changes" section but that is nothing unusual. All software has breaking changes from time to time and should be addressed by your distro maintainers.

    Thank you kind stranger 🌺

    [–] macattack 12 points 2 months ago

    Same. I'm on Debian tho so I've got ~6 months until it affects me :D

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    I guess it's that the versions aren't in ${major}.${minor}.${patch} format, but just a continuous number. But who tf cares, it's human readable and any competent version comparing tool (eg. pacman's vercmp, I use arch btw) should handle it fine, considering they also need to handle git's much more annoying commit version thingy.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

    There absolutely are minor versions, but no patch releases. E.g. https://github.com/systemd/systemd/releases/tag/v256.9 which includes no new functionalities, as these are limited to major releases

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

    ...about what?

    [–] neclimdul 1 points 2 months ago

    Well it's a new systemd release so probably.

    systemd or openrc. Others suck

    [–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Openrc is kind of painful. I would go normal busybox init over openrc.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    busybox init barely starts anything

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

    It just is shell scripts
