2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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. 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.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Why non-systemd distros? I have heard of not-systemd distros like Artix and Devaun (I think that's how you spell them), but I never bothered looking into why some people prefer them.

    Systemd is easier but also slower, it dose a lot more than just a init system and many dislike that. I have used both and it's cool to see E.g. PostmarketOS boot but systemd works really well nowdays too and the actual backlash is mostly from it's early days.

    It's philosophical: I want an init system, not a gargantuan binary blob that does who knows what and apparently removing it breaks completely unrelated parts of my system just because this little shit seems to have a hand in its operation

    I don't get it.

    Because SystemD seems to be intertwined in the workings of many, seemingly unrelated components, especially since it was supposed to be an init system

    Boots up fast tho.

    Don't know why I should care about what happens at boot up other than how long it takes.

    As I said, it's philosophical. Most people don't need to care since it works. I care because I hate systemd and like simplicity
