"Every #Linux system has an init but have you ever thought about what an init has to do, not what they various implementations do but broken down to the core what an init has to actually do. I hadn't either and the result was actually kind of surprising." Wrongly asserts this is what #systemd is? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDdVUlXLjx8
#xorg isn't dead, but #systemd (Dehomag Inc.) company #ibm wants to break everything that works and is stable, e.g. with #wayland https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=X.Org-fakescreenfps

#Systemd is not #linux and they refer to #gnu #linux distros (big OSes) as just "LINUX"... because of systemd https://latesthackingnews.com/2021/07/23/systemd-vulnerability-could-risk-denial-of-service-across-major-linux-systems/

Looks like my days with Linux are numbered. Trying a FreeBSD variant, GhostBSD on my laptop. It has everything I want as default such as EVERYTHING WORKS, no annoying quirks, wifi works, touchscreen and touchpad delightfully works, XFCE desktop defaults are amazing, and it's fast and minimalist. No insane things like #systemd or a complicated boot, but the bliss of OpenRC. The defaults for the terminal are amazing and love the fonts. The person who did this takes a working desktop seriously. I couldn't have done a better job myself.
