This thread is a self doxxing minefield

Good to know, I honestly have never tried to use Debian (not counting Ubuntu occasionally for work)

Your options are limited significantly if you want to avoid it, but yes, there are options. I use a steam deck primarily and while I can re install the OS, it’s a significant amount of fiddling for a worse experience.

My issue with systemd is not that it’s ‘hard to use’ or anything. My issue is that it’s getting harder to avoid as time goes on.

I understand that you personally are fine with it, but this is apparently a trigger for me, so please accept my apology in advance for offering commentary.

• if you don’t like it, you can use something else:

This is only really true for desktop PC hobbyists. SteamOS is responsible for a huge spike of Linux usage recently and that is Systemd-only. it’s true that you can install something else but it’ll be a significantly worse user experience. This is the case for basically any handheld Linux device, and all corporate investment is going to systemd based distros.

• if systemd starts to get bad, less people will use it:

The alternatives are less polished and switching distros is a relatively costly proposition if you are not a hobbyist (in terms of opportunity cost and time spent without a functional computer). Handheld devices such as the steam deck are much less flexible as well.

Arch, Fedora, Debian/Ubuntu all use systemd. SteamOS/CachyOS are based off Arch. Bazzite is Fedora-based.

If you use Linux for gaming, you are not going to have a good time avoiding systemd. It’s certainly true that some distributions don’t use it, but their market share is limited.

It seems dismissive to ignore the trends and investment in the ecosystem going towards systemd based distributions.

It attracts a lot of silent disagreement that’s for sure.

By far my most controversial post was negative about systemd, while posts on Palestine, anarchy, etc. received no negative attention at all.

Why do so many people think it’s a good thing??

Thanks, I’ll try it out

Relevant to the intentional murder of the consumer electronics industry

I set up WinBoat for FL Studio and it’s close enough to be functional.

Would these drones show up on flight radar?

Assuming not, I wonder how hard they would be to detect and track.

It’s where they keep the Animaniacs

I would assume the entire gaming hardware sector is taking a similar hit. This article isn’t too useful without industry comparative analysis

loosen parasites, get a good view above the water, and it’s probably fun as hell to feel like you’re flying briefly when you are that big

Conveniently, they track metadata that can easily be associated with people, like license plates, Bluetooth IDs, oh and also they do track people
