Not to discourage anyone, but a big problem with maintaining a systemd fork is how much the “init” covers. But it’s encouraging to see see just how many people are attempting a fork, if they join forces it could doable.
Worst case scenario there is alternative init systems that don’t have the kitchen sink
I saw a fork coming when the AI drama started, good on you. Don’t have the time budget for it right now, but you should contact the other fork devs, maybe you could join forces.
Don’t go around installing random AUR packages, this really shouldn’t need to be said.
Artix is one, but I have no experience with it.
Yeah, currently it is perfectly legal to host piracy sites.
(do I really need an /s?)
Should be accessible via userdbctl https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/systemd-userdbd/userdbctl.1.en.html
It’s not a “hip” distro but it is very much used, just not talked about.
If you have some Linux experience, you could try something like void linux , alpine or gentoo. Sadly, systemd is entrenched so deeply on most distros that removing it would be painful.
There is also devuan (debian without systemd) but I can’t recommend it.
Why should Western profits be protected?
This is very well studied. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tendency_of_the_rate_of_profit_to_fall
I just block it with uBlock element picker (do the same for the sidebar and comments)
It does not help that non insignificant amounts of systemd criticism comes from Lunduke and gang, often ignoring the actual technical problems with systemd and turning into culture war.
I don’t mean you, just my thoughts.
I have seen desktops, just not commonly.
DRM writers love this too.
They want to store the actual birthdays (not just a boolean stating it complies with an age bracket). And using claude to review PRs… fucking systemd
Not sure why I assumed alpine was much newer (saw it primarily used with docker)
Even most companies with open source projects rarely “contribute” as much as have source available with a CLA.
