2021 hardcore list of linux distributions without elogind and other systemd parts

        Edited: December 12th 2021 (replacing older strict list) This list is going to be short and there may be a sublist of distros with a medium strict standard.  We shall explain what the objec…

#Kernel: Performance, #systemd 250 Plans, and More • Tux Machines ⇨ http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/158950 #GPL #Linux #TuxMachines

Net effect of #mozilla releasing #firefox so often is that it's a PAIN to maintain and hard to fork/branch off. Same method IBM Gulag use with #systemd and #chromium respectively... release buggy stuff very often, and nobody will catch up

#Redhat CTO Brian Stevens: "Red Hat's model works because of the complexity of the technology we work with." https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/20211125.153513.1adbc5e5.en.html #systemd #lockin #ibm

#flatpak has greatly complicated running applications in #gnu #linux in the name of "helping users"... I'm learning all the commands now, reminds me of #systemd

Fedora Linux 36 wallpaper brainstorming! – Fedora Community Blog

We are officially ready to start brainstorming for Fedora 36 Wallpaper ideas because our candidate has been chosen as Deepika Kurup!!!

This can be done more easily #withoutsystemd https://jmtd.net/log/systemd_ext_backups #systemd

When asked about #rustlang this past summer, #rms said it would be wise to just fork Rust and call it something like Crust instead. The way things stand, corporate control is the main driver and mitivation of this thing. Marketed merits resemble #systemd and #security is a fig leaf.

#rustlang will leverage some of the same straw men #systemd used against its critics, or those who curtailed adoption of #microsoft #github bloatfest with profound sovereignty issues

#pulseaudio https://i.redd.it/3gfg8c3aym541.png next task: do the same for the whole system. We'll call it. SystemDehomag. Or #systemd for short.

[Meme] How Corporate Monopolies Demonise Critics of Their Technically and Legally Problematic 'Products'

When the technical substance of some criticism stands (defensible based upon evidence), and is increasingly difficult to refute based on facts, make up some fictional issue — a straw man argument — and then respond to that phony issue based on no...

Lots of people leaving #ibm and #redhat these days. I could name them. Some are laid off too. #systemd isn't a safe foundation. Just #vendorLockin for support contracts.

#redhat 1995: promote #gnu #linux . Red Hat 2005: promote Red Hat, e.g. JBOSS. Red Hat 2015: promote vendor lock-in, e.g. #systemd ... and now... promote anything, even #proprietarySoftware , that helps #ibm make a buck

The tragedy of systemd

A very nice talk. If you still harbour resentment or dislike towards systemd, maybe take the time to watch this and consider the arguments.

inb4: "againts the UNIX philosophy" - you do know GNU literally means "GNU's Not UNIX", right? That's not just a cute name, and it actually guided design decisions and meant incompatible changes, e.g. --long format command parameters. See also: POSIX_ME_HARDER.
