But it is about choice: your choice of which version of Linux and which variation of Firefox you're going to use.
Silly OP.
People argue that slavery is a choice.
It is.
It’s just not the slaves choice.
Systemd is great fuck the haters
Systemd is on my list of "meh, who cares, it works". Plus, it's been so long since I messed around with initd that I don't think I'm able to do it without relearning stuff.
I'm not a big fan of systemd messing with dns, but I'll survive. I'm sure I can do some fidgeting and disable it, relying on editing /etc/resol.conf like I used to, but it works well enough now that I can't be arsed.
what's not to like? seriously, what's not systemd these days? it just absorbs coreutils like a cancer.
haters
We prefer "best practice adherents".
Best practices change. For example, no one is still recommending manually editing the CHS start of a boot partition on your spinning rust device in order to optimize throughput.
except for Systemd-Resolve.
Please just let me resolve wildcards. I don't want to install dnsmasq just for this.
People bitch about systemd? Don't pretty much all the major distros use it?
People bitch about it because of it's wide usage in a system. But distros like systems because it has a wide usage within a system.
Yes, and that's the FUNNY part about it! Lennart went against the UNIX philosophy and is hated for it, but so did Linus Torvalds with the monolithic kernel, and Richard Stallman with Emacs.
And systemd don't violate it, systemd is the name of the project with a bunch of binary inside each onde doing their job, it's like complaining that Mesa don't follow Unix philosophy just because it has multiple drives inside the project
The "do one thing and do it well" mantra is such bullshit. You can slice up the things stuff does differently however best suits your argument. Oh,
wc? I don't use it because it violates the unix philosophy. It can count words and lines. That's two things.The Unix philosophy never made sense.
All parts of a program should do one thing well and communicate with other modules over a simple, common interface.
But software that offers all the features a user will need under a big umbrella with unified UI and UX is much better than "this program uses different syntax because it came from Unix and not GNU"
And one day you'll learn that 'popular' isn't often 'good'. I think we called it a Lithium Lick when Apple did it.
I use systemd, gnome, (ungoogled) chrome(ium) and have a folder named IDE with 3 IDEs
And snaps.
Go fuck yourself, Canonical. When I install a package through a package manager, I want the package I requested—not the bullshit you tried to force down my throat.
the other difference between snap and systemd is that there are clearly better alternatives to snap that are technologically superior in practically every sense and not tied to some company that tries to sell out.
