| >thought that systemd was generally hated? If it was generally hated there would be a lot more support for the distros that don't have systemd. There isn't. Except for alpine, all of them are extremely niche, half of them are dead, the other half barely have enough people to stick around for a release a year. Even alpine is kinda niche, it's mostly used as a way to make lightweight docker containers, rather than as a distro that stands on its own, the fact it uses musl as its libc means you can't use it on a server that has nvidia gpus for machine learning, you can't use it on a desktop where you need a browser capable of DRM, you can't use it on a personal computer if you ever intend to install a video game etc. I have -yet- to hear anyone in my life actually use something like Devuan, the systemd-less fork of Debian, in a production environment.
Six years after their first release, instead of standing on their own as a distribution, they're still deeply angry and obsessed with systemd and this is the level of professionalism they exhibit on social media :

"It's 2022 and the master of systemd is now working for Micro$oft https://phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Lennart-Poet... this the last bit

omits. This is a classic cybernetic strategy: to become the master of a feedback loop you create and continuously adjust the framework in which nodes interact." I think that says enough about the sort of irrational people we're dealing with? People who hate systemd are very, very vocal, and highly unproductive. |
