  • 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.

  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    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.

    So… Slackware?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

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

    BTW...

    Also kudos to you for your modding last couple days.

    Is this going to be Arch or Debian?

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

    Debian.

    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.

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

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Can you explain why everyone hates systemd

    I started and still work in rhel

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month 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?

    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...

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