The Linux systemd Controversy: A Beginner's Guide to Understanding the Debate
https://void.cat/d/3m8NbtmUeLTWiipueFE3YJ.webp
In the world of Linux, few debates have stirred as much controversy as the battle between the traditional System V init system, often known as SysVinit, and the newer systemd.
systemd is a system and service manager, first introduced in 2010 to replace the traditional System V init system. It was designed to improve boot-up speeds and manage system services more efficiently. Today, systemd is the default init system for many popular Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, Fedora, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Despite the name, systemd is not a daemon. Instead, it's a software suite that provides a number of system components for Linux. Its goal: to standardize service configuration and behavior across Linux distributions.
Personally, I have no preference at all. It's there, and I use it sometimes when I need to change or troubleshoot something. My take on it really is that Linux has many options and therefore there will always be differences of opinion, just like we also have for all the "best" Linux distros. When do you ever hear Windows users passionately debating for or against the Yellow and Blue version of Windows? You don't, because they don't have those options. And for macOS, of course, Steve knows best...
I think most newer Linux users have not really experienced the pre-systemd era, and also probably don't delve much into where systemd is actually changed much. With modern Linux there is less and less reason to delve down into systemd unless you are in the habit of experimenting, learning, pulling things apart. But sometimes the topic flares up, so it is interesting to hear a bit about what and why.

trying the proof of concept demo linked on the blog post using the official mastodon client but ran into this error message @nostr:npub108pv4cg5ag52nq082kd5leu9ffrn2gdg6g4xdwatn73y36uzplmq9uyev6

It isn't an error message but a message to notify you that they don't accept new users on that server βοΈπ

My dev machine uses ~800MB of ram on boot.
And thatβs the best ad I could possibly write for #Linux
Which distro and desktop environment are you using? π€
That's true! Mine was around 2010, with Ubuntu's Maverick Meerkat I think I've made the switch (thou I have been dabbling since Hardy Heron).
Now I'm running #Fedora on my laptop (but looking to switch) and #Debian 12 on my storage server. I'm contemplating between also running Debian, the new release of #Solus, #AlpineLinux or #NixOS

What would be the best way to verify your backup? 256/512SUMchecking of the data folders?
I'm not seeing what you are seeing π’
Who knew #Windows11 is such a shit show?
If you have a known WiFi configured, but alter the password; after failing to connect it'll kill the entire wireless section!
No place to alter the password, add any alternative WiFi networks, anything WiFi related basically βοΈπ
I don't think that would ever happen on #Linux ππ

I have considered it before, but maybe it combination with Tailscale it is a worthwhile endeavour π€
Welcome fellow #Fosstodon
I'm also trying out #Nostr and I'm looking for more interesting people to follow, but nonetheless I enjoy the experience βοΈπ
