The Linux Thread - The Autist's OS of Choice

If systemd just did init things, that would be fine. But it took over networking(on Debian it was a nice trivial interfaces file) it screws with DNS(I have local DNS servers that do adblocking and stuff) and time service(NTP servers provided by DHCP)
Sure, some of it is how the distros configure it, but none of that shit should be part of init.

So, once I do the usual disable of systemd-resolved and switch timesyncd to use the right servers it's like 13% less annoying.

Also device management and user home directory management. Now it's expanding to manage system updates and kernel installs.

I'd generally prefer initd to systemd but I have no real quality reasons for either, and most of the systemd hate seems to be ideological rather than practical. It's just that the only time I had to do anything remotely related to startups or changes between init levels on servers, it was initd (Solaris specifically).

That was so long ago it's pretty much irrelevant now.

And then suppose you get all ideological about systemd. Are you then going to gimp your NVIDIA card and use the absolutely shitty open drivers that are available because you're that allergic to binary blobs?

I'd never put anything other than systemd on a work server, because that's corporate space. My desktop computer, on the other hand, is an entirely different issue and I'd like to keep it simple in the upper ring levels.

NVIDIA bullshit is already unavoidable, while this particular problem still has alternatives. Everything that I do on my PC fits perfectly within runit's use case, might as well add a plus one to the alternative user count.

PulseAudio is pretty much a necessity for professional audio work in Linux

You already had JACK for professional audio work.

PulseAudio is absolutely garbage.
Full of retarded design choices that cause problems that should never exist in the first place.
Like making it self-starting and -stopping, which causes dumb things like the bluetooth headset disconnecting when you have no sound-using application running for a moment.

And like so many Red Hat desktop software: Now that they forced everyone to use it, have every dev integrate it into their software, and made it somewhat stable - they realize it's garbage and come out with a replacement (PipeWire).

This is my least favorite feature, but it's not exactly PulseAudio's fault - PulseAudio doesn't actually decide which sources are connected to which sinks by default, and that's why you need a separate project like WirePlumber to do so. It was all of ten minutes for me to figure out how to make that stop, though the fact that I had to at all was intensely obnoxious - I spent the first twenty minutes of my latest install with my speakers constantly popping whenever they turned on and off from being idle for ten seconds and then some website or the system bell tried to play sound.

What are people's experiences with ZFS? I've got a long-term storage array at z2 that's amazing, but for my latest desktop install I tried Ubuntu with ZFS Root. It's kinda a shitshow. A ton of things are still minorly broken by the split into sub datasets that they recommend, and there's some weird perf issues that I think are related to disk usage. I'm overall pretty happy with it, but I wonder if I should have gone with Arch for rolling-release goodness. I wanted a desktop that felt like a desktop, the way I'd use my PC in the 90s/2000s to multitask while writing school papers.

It's not a matter of ideology. Poettring is objectively a bigger asshole than Larry Ellison and cares much less about shipping reliable, useful software.

Daily reminder that Linux Mint is based and redpilled.

No, just an early example of a virtue signal.

Humans signaling against jewish babyrapers isn't 'virtue signaling'. It's 'virtue'.

Unfortunately, it appears that Mr. Lefebvre has been blackmailed by the babyrapers and retracted his prior statement. This is why there is no room for compromise with jews, anytime, anywhere.
