I wonder when the year of people shut up about systemd will be

I meant what I wrote, but couldn't think of a better way to word it 😅

I'm focusing more on the community building and advancing software parts of the work they did/do. Some products are in a pretty good state, but that's not the case for others.

I don't have concerns about shipping, more about the community building and support aspect of their products.

If you're happy with a product's current state then fine, but if not you're pretty much on your own.

I wouldn't; perfectly placed mistake?

Certainly feels like it and I personally wouldn't buy anything from them at the moment.

Edit: would -> wouldn't

Just installing applications is pretty easy though.

***
- hosts: localhost
  become: yes
  tasks:
    - name: Install required software
      dnf:
        state: latest
        name:
          - firefox
          - telegram
          - calibre

ansible-playbook install.yml

Something like that (untested)

Various mildly understandable to braindead reasons

  • "it doesn't work"
  • "breaks my workflow"
  • "Xorg is better"
  • "Nvidia"
  • "no reason to use it"
  • "being pushed by IBM"
  • "no SSH forwarding"
  • "has taken too long to get to current state"
  • "when I last tried it 5 years ago it didn't work"

Anytime I see a Phoronix article (very loosely) about systemd or Wayland I fill my insults bingo card.

Please make sure to implement democracy first, we have enough issues with dictatorships and oligopolies already.

I'm not a kernel dev, but I've read often enough that there are some places where "everything is a file" somewhat breaks down on Unix. (I think /proc and some /dev)

For an "absolutely everything is a file" system have a look at plan9, it was the intended successor to Unix, but then that got popular while plan9 stayed a research project.
