  • 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.

    Sysvinit on gentoo here. Its so simple and clean, all can be managed and hacked via bash scripts.

    I see no benefits in my use cases for systemd. Boot speed is unneeded, service auto-restart is done via Monit, anything else I don't need.

    This is true for all my server -and- all my workstations and laptops as well.

    Systemd never solved a problem needed to be solved to start with.

    Now that it also does coffee and cream for you, i start seeing some benefits like auto-restart services. Was it worthwhile? Meh, dunno.

    At first it seemed another case of "I am too young and I want stuff done my way just because" and redhat shoved it down everybody throath to gain marked dominance. That they did.

    At least now systemd looks like mature and finally start making sense. I was even contemplating testing a migration on one server.

    Then I remembered, I like freedom of choice and keeping up being an old fart, so I didn't (yet).

    (No, for Wayland and network manager I think they are both welcome and needed from the start).

    It didn't help the main Dev suckass attitude, that didn't made friends.
