Get your hand off my penis!

How boring.

Will you ever get to the point where you say clearly why exactly bootctl isn’t a separate utility? No, having dependencies doesn’t make something not a separate utility. And no, communicating with systemd daemon over unix sockets doesn’t as well.

Are you familiar with the concept of shared libraries? Please, stop embarrasing yourself.

Lol, you are a clown. First one on the list.

I do, but there is an issue with lauchers in general. Not just steam.

I too have started using linux some time before systemd adoption, but because my work involved a lot of system administration and infrastructure administration simplicity of sysv-style and bsd-style inits was detrimental to my mental health, so when systemd came it was something from another world, tickled me just right and documentation was insanely good and detailed, and it absolutely changed everything. There is also an obvious problem of people reductively thinking of systemd project as a whole as an init system, it isn’t just that it’s a system management system and it works great. Other systems just doesn’t use what linux provides and instead reiterate on old designs.

It wasn’t because it’s true. They are literally separate utilities. Many is exactly two (i think) busybox and whatever the other one is called. For vast majority of people and in context it should be obvious that coreutils I was referring to is GNU coreutils, you are being intentionally obtuse. There are three, I believe, mandatory parts that fall under systemd umbrella everything else is either optional or separate. Interdependency angle is disengenious at best, programs can and have dependencies, it’s laughable that you think that they aren’t separate utilities because they depend on other utility.

Forced hegemony I’m dying lol.

What do you think about coreutils, util-li nux, findutils, god forbid iproute2? They all are binaries from THE mentioned packages, built from THE repo (have you heard of monorepos?) are they also overreaching and that’s THE point?

Systemd is unix-way, systemd the manager is one program it comes with journal, but everything else under systemd project is either optional or separate utility that designed to work well with other utilities under systemd project, kind of like coreutils.

I understand your position I think it’s empowering to do it your way. 👍🏽

Majority of these are separate utilities developed under systemd umbrella.

You get less control actually. Like you can’t even do basic things (capabilities per daemon, limits per daemon, isolation, etc.) with old-school inits. Won’t even start on security features allowed to units by systemd.

If by control you mean you can write your own logic in an initscript, then yes you probably can, but it’s still limited (never tried runit, but on old rhels and debian they were) by other tooling that expects script to behave in a particular way. You can still obviously do it with systemd by calling your script.

Yes, but it’s bad because software has bugs.

People that insist that steam is good in any way are either never seen any other program or lying to themselves, it’s a horrible mess with a million pages that forces you to use itself because who knows why.

They sure like their eschathological predictions and easily influenced people. In their new mythology “THE AI” is either a Jinn or an evil god, but they a going to stop it from being evil. As long as money are paid (by everyone, saving the world needs money, alright?)

I think I’ve just never worked in an environment like this it was always either a startup where nobody cares about branding of some tool (also there wouldn’t even be a discussion about it) or places where it wasn’t a priority as long as it worked because menagerial class was limited in numbers so they couldn’t poke where it wasn’t required.

1. It isn’t really a private company.
2. Because yandex had 3 of their main sites hit, can you do ‘basic disaster ecovery’ in such conditions? There are 100% chance that they weren’t prepared for such scenario, as we can see right now.
3. Do you believe that compute is magic and you can always get more of it by writing terraform apply?

Your work environment is bad if they are so easily distracted by branding and can’t deal with ‘unporfessional’ and ‘weird’ things.

So what exactly is peppermintos? As far as main page it looks like they took debian without systemd and decided that it’s too mainstream still and they should focus on being x-server only distro.

If your goal is to make a working gun, it’s pretty achievable, repairing or restoring existing one is obviously quite a bit harder.

Inclusion of core-js or whatever it is called into the list feels dumb. Sqlite iirc doesn’t accept new contributors, other projects on the list might as well. Not all of them require high maintenance beyond small fixes their authors are obviously capable of implementing.
