next the criticism will be something along the lines of "Poettering is trying to get with your gf"

Sometimes I feel that those haters actually don't mind systemd, pulseaudio, avahi and other similar things, as long as it's not under the GPL and is not running on Linux.
Or, in a slightly different way, they see and recognise the need to move beyond the Unix "philosophy" and enjoy using an OS that does that, but Linux must never be allowed to go that route.
Go figure.

Exactly, and watch how this thread will turn completely toxic with people who use systemD doing just that. Bashing, insulting and cursing out people who want init-freedom.
It is indeed very visible, they are the toxic ones, but they call toxic to others..
Only because the 'others' decide to maintain the route they have been tracing for decades now..
They change only what its better to change, what is good.. is to keep and improve...evolutionary steps..
The newcomers, now are hunting...

So I manually copy all missing files in /usr from the original .iso back and have it work (yes, I know the setup is beyond repair at this point, but I don't care since it was a temporary VM only). God what a waste of half an hour.
Can systemd just go fuck itself? I'm sick of it controlling everything and getting in my way. I've never had this kind of issues on any other VM without it. Just fuck off already.Last edited by intelfx; 28 February 2019, 09:39 PM.

ALSA drivers have very wild levels of quality, and don't have a particularly cohesive low-level interface beyond some basic stuff.
A noticeable part of Pulse issues were in fact ALSA drivers being shit and requiring driver-specific workarounds.
If I was running a super lightweight desktop, I'd probably prefer to just use ALSA directly and perhaps combine it with apulse
Which is why I'm mostly biased towards ALSA. The amount of times I had to go fix that crap (the userspace part) vastly outnumbers the times I had issues with Pulse.

Originally posted by Weasel View PostI install Arch VM for test compiling some stuff. To ease on storage, I mount a squashfs/overlay into usr. But no, I can't unmount it later, because systemd locks it. Of course, it always has to be systemd that gets in my way.

-why aren't you using a chroot for compiling like everyone else (this is easymode on Arch as it's literally their install tutorial that teaches you how to use a chroot to install it), as a chroot does not need any kernel or init or anything more than what you ACTUALLY need, so even if you are a noob and must save space for some reason you are still covered.
-why are you blaming systemd for a packaging issue in Arch (and this isn't the first time the fuckers break systemd packages)? I mean that's Arch packagers changing name of the systemd library package and causing a conflict and massive breakage on update, which is imho VERY BAD as it's a core library, how is that a systemd issue?
-why ar you using a distro you are a noob with?Last edited by starshipeleven; 28 February 2019, 11:17 PM.

Q: "My system won't boot because systemd craps out, what do I do?"
A: "That's a problem with you, because you want to boot your PC, and systemd clearly doesn't want it, so it's your problem not systemd's, because it took control of your PC."

Never looked back.
