The Cuuuuube

my objection to snaps came before i knew they were proprietary. they actually factually run worse

i hope someone working on KDE sees this and says “well this is unacceptable. we have to figure out why this is causing so much frame lag” and the ability to enhugen your cursor remains forever.

it was for a time a distro i was really big on on account of how small it could be on live media. absolutely fantastic for very old pcs and netbooks, too

clown distro makes clown decision

read up to date current docs and know they are for the current working state of the system, potentially when i don’t have a net connection because i’m troubleshooting PID 0/1

that’s a great example of bad docs.

this is everything i see monitoring Linux boxes everyday. we’ve shifted mostly to OpenRC about it. i can’t imagine defending SystemD if you have experienced anything other than it and SysInitV. yeah compared to SysInitV, it’s really nice, but to say it’s good and stable? that’s like praising your landlord for all the work they do and the reason they haven’t fixed your broken dishwasher is because they’re so busy from what a good landlord they are

In fact, the situation has gotten much worse. The coupling of SystemD’s components to each other has gotten tighter. The coupling of things that aren’t SystemD to SystemD has gotten tighter. SystemD itself has gotten less stable. The overall result? Our operating systems require more, not less, troubleshooting, and they’re less, not more, enjoyable to use and develop on

SystemD has been such a frustration the last couple years with the wonderful simplicity and stability it used to provide managing a system completely out the door as its main development company (RedHat) has stopped giving any kind of a shit about being a positive force in the world. We all shoulda listened 10 years ago when the greybeards were telling us not to fall for an init system trying to do too much.

Just looked into this drama because I had no idea what the fuck was going on, and MAJOR YIKES
