A Major Music Company Now Backs Systemd In Debian

[LinuxAffenMann]

It's probably not a good idea to base technical decisions like that on popularity...

What's Debian waiting for, though? Pick a default solution and move on - there's no decision that will leave everyone happy anyways.

Nice to finally see a commercial entity endorse something.

How about providing non-voting shares and help fund a system you clearly thrive on?

I support systemd, and if these folks have so many deployments, perhaps they should pony up resources to expand on it.

Hahaha... Thanks, had to google this one but looks promising and also debian based . Think i'll switch to debian some time in te future. After mir my ubuntu-enthousiasm hit an all-time low.

Siduction has worked great for me for a long time.
It got systemd and a wireless cli tool called ceni that actually works, and with the nox release you can build your debian unstable from scratch

Don't forget Valve made it clear the reason SteamOS is built off Debian instead of Ubuntu was Canonical's Contributor License Agreement which applies to Upstart.

Source?

siduction is calling for you (and I think the latest releases are already using systemd...).

Yes the latest siduction release is using systemd by default and it works quite well in my testing. I initially was leery of systemd but it's being actively developed so any bugs or issues are being addressed fairly rapidly. Debian leaning towards systemd is a good thing in my opinion.

As for Spotify perhaps they should offer suggestions and maybe look into making their Linux client work on a par with their Windows one for starters. If they need technical help in doing that perhaps they can get help from the community in the form of patches or suggestions.

I haven't seen that, do you have a link? I remember it was over "legal issues", but no further clarification.

Same here. I use Kubuntu because (1) I use KDE, (2) I want a popular distro, user oriiented, and (3) I want easy third party or backport management, and Ubuntu still gives me all that, particularly with the PPAs.

I used to see a lot of value also in having Ubuntuforums with a gazillion users. But there are less and less problems as Linux gets more polished, and really, my computers bore me these days, nothing to fix anymore And KDE has alienated me to the point that I only use the basics: Plasma, Dolphin. The rest, it's a mix: Chrome for the web and gmail, Google docs most of the time for documents, Pitivi for video editing, tv-maxe or chrome for streamed sports, vlc for media, etc ...
