Hopefully we can change the color. Maybe a “red screen to read”, will have a better ring to it? :laughing:
Would be cool to see how customizable it will be. Might be able to get some termbin commands in there for a garuda-inxi and stuff.

Edit: maybe the Dragonized versions could have a “purple screen to ponder” :laughing:

Another systemd hate speech I take it?

I don’t think systemD is that much any hateful just because it was started by something like Red Had , the fact is that is even red hat was loved by all until it was overtaken by a company :slightly_smiling_face: .

After all it is used by most of the distros and is under heavy development all the time.

No, believe it or not it’s actually praising systemd.

Even I don’t have any big thing to hate about systemD
yeah it is more than now just an init system ,
but other features that it have now like things related to login are actually counts on it’s subproject and that means perhaps it still follows the unix philosophy that “A software should only do that piece of work for which it is made and should do that piece of work perfectly” ? :slightly_smiling_face:

Just a quick note I don’t hate systemd, I love it just quoting why systemd is hated.

The points here are mostly taken from benno rice an openbsd developer.
Ppl actually complain on how aggressively linux centric systemd is and how it’s eating away work done by other projects and it’s binary logging.

The subprojects of systemd are not compatible with anything other than systemd. This dependence irates people who want to have absolute control over their system and use particular modules of systemd to interact with other init systems/modules. Yeah that’s just not possible in systemd.

Systemd’s code base is balooning and hence (some) ppl view it as bloat.

Ppl say if linux someday dies (hypothetically) as a project then systemd will die along with it since it so aggressively depends on linux. Which is not good. But this aggressiveness brings some goodness with it like systemd-nspawn.

The binary logs are not the best way to maintain logs they can easily corrupt thus a security concern.

No, not the company, but the person who actually did the foisting, Lennart Poettering.

And Avahi, and PulseAudio…need I go on? There’re reasons he got death threats. Valid reasons? You decide.

Yeah, he was actually working under red hat at that time , and there another person with him too .

Isn’t that another reason not to hate systemD :wink:

Whatt ?!! :eyes: :grimacing:

There was something wrong with SysVinit? That’s what we used to run and it worked just fine…at the time. :wink:

Of course, fuddy-duddy ol’ me still likes mkinitcpio and pulseaudio (though I use pipewire) and I’ve only just gotten away from GRUB for the past 6-9 months. I’ll give ya that systemd-boot is kinda cool. I guess as much as I gripe about Poettering, I still use a number of his creations.

But you have to realize that Red Hat has made it so that EVERYBODY running Linux, MUST run it according to RED Hat’s whims.

Basically, if you run Linux, you’re doing it Red Hat’s way. That’s the cruel truth of the matter, nowadays. :frowning:

Yeah, that red hat :joy:

But I will still prefer a project which is under high development and is monitored by thousands of users world wide every minute , instead of using something which is just maintained by some two or three peoples, I don’t mean that those two/three people’s work is useless but it’s just my personal choice :wink:

Even it means that an insane hacker got a loop hole in SystemD then he would be able to hack majority of distros but at last , choices of individuals is what that actually matters for that particular individual :slightly_smiling_face:

It might depend on if the developer goes nuts and kills their spouse, maybe?
