Devuan 2.1 Released - Still Delivering Debian 9 Without Systemd

[rtfazeberdee]

This proves you do not even want to discus, because such arguments have been told a lot of time, you just do not want to listen. I will still try with one anti-systemd argument : "systemd puts to many system components into a single program".

ROFLMAO - that just shows you don't know what you are talking about with regards to systemd - please list all the system components in this "single program"

[Shiba]

Hopefully Debian will vote for init diversity, so Devuan can be no more.

systemd puts to many system components into a single program

Yet this has been debunked a bazillion times and you darn well know this isn't really true, but like repeating it anyway.

Single program? No. Single project? Yes. But then so is coreutils.

To date, I have yet to see a single compelling argument to this claim.

How about memcpy freedom? Or strlen freedom?

You do HAVE memcpy/strlen freedom. You can choose your C standard library implementation. (most people use Glibc but you can use musl for example if you prefer)

Go pester Firefox on the grounds that they dare to depend on Gtk, taking away your precious GUI toolkit freedom.

Firefox depending on Gtk does not prevent you from using another GUI toolkit for other programs. Firefox works well with KDE, which is based on Qt.

There have already been a lot of discussion of why systemd is bad.

To date, I have yet to see a single compelling argument to this claim.

People who do not want systemd know why they do not want it.

Lmao.

Gentoo, which is a reference when it comes to distributions for advanced users, refused to default to systemd, but they still support it has an option. That is init freedom.

How about memcpy freedom? Or strlen freedom? That's a load of horsecrap. Go pester Firefox on the grounds that they dare to depend on Gtk, taking away your precious GUI toolkit freedom. Every GUI program must work with every GUI toolkit out there! /s

You don't get to choose dependencies of your software.

Why did the "init freedom" suddenly start to matter when systemd appeared? Nobody cared about sysvinit hegemony all those 30 years.

I do not see much systemd hate here, but a lot of non-systemd hate.
Maybe some people who complain of systemd haters should to think about their own non-systemd hate.

(for Devuan, there is no point of supporting systemd since Debian already supports it)

Yes, all true.

"Debian is outdated"

The PC term is "stable", thank you very much.

[caligula]

I love Linux because of the freedom it provides to do what you want to do and it's friendly open community...

oh wait.. it's 2019. lol well I guess *that* is out the window now..

Hello FreeBSD.

Idiot. Even Linux kernel / GPL2 is more restrictive than FreeBSD. You must have missed that at some point. Just out of curiosity, how many contributions have you made to any related open source project? How is systemd or Linux restricting you if you're not even capable of contributing anything?

[Templar82]

this obsolete garbage tries to take away our freedom to run systemd debian

You can still install the other obsolete garbage distro if you want.

you are confusing "systemd haters" with "non-systemd"

There have already been a lot of discussion of why systemd is bad.

you are confusing bullshit with discussion
