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.
    • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 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.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.

    So going off the chalice in the movie, the distro that will save you from judgment is the plainest one – the one with the least bloat? That tracks.

    [–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago (3 children)

    Is this going to be Arch or Debian?

    [–] marlowe221@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

    That’s just what I was going to say - that will either be Arch or Debian…

    [–] barsquid@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago (3 children)

    More like Alpine or something else without systemd. I mean no shade (well, a bit of shade) since I've got Fedora myself. Alpine doesn't even have glibc IIRC.

    [–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

    In 2024, having systemd is less complicated than not having it.

    [–] Forester@yiffit.net 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Can you explain why everyone hates systemd

    I started and still work in rhel

    [–] barsquid@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    I think it is breaking the Unix philosophy, it is an enormous piece of code that does so many different things. My ideal is smaller components with smaller dependencies. When distros or software becomes inextricably dependent on systemd they are then beholden to whichever direction the maintainers take it.

    My take on it is somewhat based on "what if." Other people have some pragmatic discussions on security aspects if you search around.

    I'm not a systemd guru, but I do find it relatively easy to work with.

    I've noticed that a lot of it is actually made up of separate binaries and daemons. Is it wrong or misleading to think of systemd as a collection of utilities that share a common DSL as opposed to a strict monolith?

    [–] pimeys@lemmy.nauk.io 1 points 6 months ago

    Musl can be a bit annoying compilation target sometimes. Usually it works but I've debugged bugs a few times that were due to musl target.

    I prefer my distro with glibc...

    BTW...

    Also kudos to you for your modding last couple days.

    [–] SpacePirate@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    So… Slackware?

    [–] superkret@feddit.org 1 points 6 months ago

    Of course. No other distro existed when Jesus was alive.
