1. Follow the site-wide rules

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.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

    Explain this to a really new linux user (me lol)

    Most distros use systemd to manage deamons (mini apps that run in background / sevices) like e.g. Bluetooth.

    (those stuff you have to enable sometimes (systemctl enable my-new-app.service)

    You can use systemd-manager to check it out using a GUI

    This meme tells „imagine if windows would port Systemd to windows. Winsvc stands for Windows Service

    also the creator of systemd went to work at mikrosoft

    [–] Petter1@lemm.ee 12 points 5 months ago

    😮did not know that

    [–] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 8 points 5 months ago (2 children)

    Wait there is a GUI for SystemD? I had no idea

    [–] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    No, but one for systemd

    [–] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Is that actually different? My phone autocorrected it like that.

    [–] maeries@feddit.de 3 points 5 months ago

    Linux is case sensitive, so yeah

    [–] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

    It is old, but it does not look bad in my opinion 😁 it is such a good overview, I don‘t know why KDE does not include it in its settings

    Explain this to a long-time runit user... (Seriously, I'm lost)

    [–] ssm@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 5 months ago

    Explain this to an OpenBSD rc user (there's no OpenBSDMemes)

    [–] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (2 children)

    Imagine if systemd was ported as the Windows init manager. (Memes about systemd being inspired by Windows with its bloat).

    [–] edinbruh@feddit.it 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Systemd was actually a "clone" of apple's launchd. Similarities with windows arise from the fact that it makes sense to manage services in certain ways on modern OSs. Also services on windows are completely different from Linux and MacOS, they are even a different executable file format, not a normal exe.

    [–] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

    I know lol. It was a joke, although I do think that in theory leaner systems like Runit are better. But I cannot dismiss some of the innovation/work done in systemd

    [–] Uebercomplicated@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

    Thank you!

    The argument of Systemd being more and more like Windows-behind-the-hoods.
