Systemd-Free Debian Fork Devuan Releases Its Second Beta

[shirish]

if memory serves me correctly, OpenRC was the one which had feature-set similar to Systemd and yet is/was supposed to be smaller. Something like that would have added value, Going back to sysvinit doesn't make sense.

So years after the "everyone hates systemd" era ended, this is still in beta. Debian being up-to-date, as usual...

I don't think that they might ever escape that, what with upstream projects (the ones with inti system integration anyway) making the switch or having done so already. They are forcse to rewrite a lot from scratch at this point if they want to avoid systemd in it's entirety, which would be a colossal effort with the linux community behind it, monumental with only one distro doing the work.

No, because only very expensive high end monitors had the necessary dot pitch for that. Yes, you can scan the CRT that quickly but there wasn't an individual phosphor dot at every location the beam hit. On most CRTs this resulted in an unreadable, tiny, muddy mess.

I had 2 cheap monitors and it was OK. The programs and menus were readable but I agree it was far to be as sharp as a high end monitor.

The refresh frequency has a bigger problem. You had to check its scan speed and then divide by the vertical resolution. If the result was below 60Hz it would be unusable, and below 75Hz just plain bad..

I don't think many of the 90's had 2560x1440 monitors

True is should have been 1920x1440.

Believe it or not but you could have1600x1200 on every simple 15" in 90's! Then LCD monitors came and... ouch

The only thing that link gave me was an almost fullscreen ad to play delta wars... There is about 0.01s that I see a picture. And of course clicking on the "close this ad" button opens a complete new window with more spam.
abload.de is going in my blocklist.

Well I just see no commercials because of uBlock so I'm sorry for the banners.

Well, as Michael quoted: Devuan needs developpers and money. You've been fooled
