when it doesn't affect you, and it doesn't for the vast majority... you can just sit back and enjoy the show.
Now that the "I hate systemd" movement is mostly dead, it's become funny again.
I don't think it's dead, we found solutions like using Devuan and stopped complaining.
I can still laugh at the memes.
I personally don't care if my system has systemd or anything, as long as it works & completed any task that i give i don't have complaints against it.
I genuinely have never heard of systemd before other than the meme about finding the next Friday the 13th or something
I've used Linux for a off and on combined total of 6 months (not counting Steamdeck desktop use)
As soon as you have to enable a a deamon/service, you have to interact with systemd. Systemctl is the command that is used for that (with option enable, disable, start, stop and restart)
Some programs require you to enable such a service, in order that they work, but would not talk about systemd while explaining install of xyz, more like โenable xyz: sudo systemctl enable xyzโ.
Thats's intresting. I only use linux as vms, or on ny android Termux interface, since 4 months and i could install arch with archinstall and nowadays i'm almost done it without archinstall. I will also plan to write my own "bootloader" if grub and systemd-boot acts up, which grub did. I also wrote this script that creates a log file from your open ports using nmap and saves it with the current date:
clear ; pkg install nmap && sudo nmap -O 127.0.0.1 >> "log$(date +%Y%m%d-%H).txt" && echo "/n/nlog file saved to $(pwd)/log$(date +%Y%m%d-%H).txt" ; nano "log$(date +%Y%m%d-%H).txt"
I have no idea what you're saying but pop off queen ๐ฃ๏ธ๐ฃ๐ฅ
Once again, give me a reasonable alternative and a distro that implements it, or stop whining.
At this point we've gone past the point of people doing the thing and now it's just people ragging on imaginary people doing the thing
I see, you haven't been to the phoronix forum in a while. Enjoy. Comments: systemd Saw A Record Number Of Commits In 2024
Oh no, I recently saw someone shitting on it still. They exist!
Most have just wisened up and moved to a systemd-less sphere, I assume, rather than fighting a lost battle on a niche hill.
Kind of the same syndrome of that people that want to feel opressed by made up reasons
I use Void btw
It works but so do the others. I still maintain a sysvinit machine and it works just fine. This cartoon is just another example of someone who picked their team and now hates all the other teams. Someone who thinks anyone who thinks differently from them is stupid. Or they are just another troll.
I don't like systemd on the meta level but I must admit that it's quite pleasant to use. So I'm not quite on the fence about it but rather of the opinion that both camps are correct in their own way.
What if my team is the "use whatever and stfu about systemd" team?
Its sound like a lonely place.
Is that what we're going to do today, Kitty? We're going to fight?
