Yeah support non-systemD Devuan and Linux Mint. (Creator of Mint was once critical of Israel).
I know some people have already forked the kernel too which is being subverted. People who can and care need to stack these 3 projects: Linux kernel fork (pre-SJW), Devuan (No systemD) and Linux Mint (good UI/secretly based).
Devuan
What's the trade off of having a non systemD system?
I need a no BS assessment, not some "proselytic" stuff or wishful thinking
Is it doomed to be "deprecated" in some way? As in, past a certain date in a not so distant future, support will drop entirely for instance
Because if you're going to have PID 1 responsible for everything and doing the dishes, you might as well install windows?
I realise this may verge on "proselytic", but it really does come down to a difference in design philosophy - systemd violates the "do one thing and do it well" approach of *nix software design. This makes it not only more frustrating to work with (personal opinion), but also more difficult to replace - the latter point more-so as a result of its creeping integration with other software (This is the part where I'd glare at GNOME, but honestly, fuck GUI's, man. Tiling terminal or bust. TILING TERMINALS OR BUST.)
Though, this thread has now forced me to think about computers three days early.
You assholes!
>TILING TERMINALS OR BUST
I agree
It's too bad nobody is maintaining an i3 debian based distro... Or arch based, or whatever
I've gone tired of installing the entire kit everytime I have to for whatever reason, this + this + this + this + this.... Oh fuck I forgot that pain in the ass again...
I've made a stripped down i3 ubuntu live distro with installer using cubic... 700 Mb...
But well, I'm not a pro, and I would rather prefer a team of pros doing this shit, because I don't want to play make ubuntu image disk for the rest of my days every time a new distro version is out
...
But really my concern about non systemd distros is about... What it's going to become in 5 years for instance. Are people going to drop it because "go with systemd it's the future!" ?
Because it sounds a bit like that
Much of the Linux world is going with systemD so yeah you will be missing updates for the next several years probably.
