  • I never felt systemd as addressing any issues I personally had, so meh, I still don’t use it and don’t feel the need for it. Of. Course, this is only my personal choice. Good to have.

    Maybe systemd fixed issues for other use cases, so there is that.

    Wayland too, but the rel difference is that X has been an unmaintained mess for decades and was designed for different technology. Hard to adapt to modern issues like privacy, security and hardware acceleration. So Wayland is a good way forward, and still backward compatible which is a cool and needed feature too.

    While systemd, after decades, I can still do without in all my use cases (personal use laptop, various servers, work workstations, and a largish work laboratory with a few mixed workstations and servers). Don’t get me wrong, it’s good to have. But also yo have choice.

    I see the point and I find the article honest in exposing its authors views.

    But honestly Wayland is better than X in most ways and while it’s taking time to grow and replace X fully, well, on 10 years from now X will be rightfully forgotten.

    This is not a systemd/sysinit issue. Wayland actually fix issues, deep issues, in an old outdated and broken also mostly unmaintained stack of tech that didn’t age well.

    I did not yet switched to Wayland everywhere for various reasons, but the fact that where I did it worked very well and didn’t even noticed the transition is proof that Wayland is the wayforward.

    Fegmentation is bad? Well, it’s the core of Linux, so get used to it and let everybody pick what they prefer…




  • I used to run Gentoo (and build it too) on an arm tablet with 1gb RAM, quite a few years ago. It was an Asus TF700T with an hardware keyboard and touch screen.

    It’s painful and really almost useless. You can setup the tyniest of the window manger and tools, but forget about browsing, using any office program, and probably a lot more.

    With patience, it can be used i guess. Also, could be a nice command line only device with decent results.











  • I wasn’t technically married, but after 10 years it was like it.

    Anyway, technically i ended it by cheating on her, but in retrospective she had’t been fulfulling her part of the relationship on oh so many levels, and i was looking (cowardly) for a way out. So the cheat become my actual wife and we have been happy ever after.

    It’s been the best change in my life ever. but my knees don’t always agree.

    As a life lesson, you need to make experience. You need to know what you want from life, and you need to learn how to care for somebody. Before these three checks are green, your relaitonships will not be lifelong or positive. Break from bad relaitonships and learn from them, but most of all, learn from yourself. Find out who you are, then start grow a couple. Find a better person than you are as your SO, learn together and grow together.

    and, most of all, do not follow advice from strangers on the net.
