Any examples?
> Why for example are Jails not compatible with Linux?
What? Jails originated in FreeBSD over 20 years ago? This question doesn't make sense.
The OP was referring to systemd affecting upstream by requiring systemd for things (ie Gnome). Are you saying there are pieces of software you have always used, but no longer can because they directly rely on jails?
I don't even use FreeBSD, but this was a weird argument.
- AsyncAwait 6y agoI am saying GNOME is primarily a Linux desktop environment, developed practically exclusively by Linux users and thus it makes sense for it to make use of Linux specific features, just as it makes sense for FreeBSD technologies to take full advantage of FreeBSD-exclusive features. Just because GNOME wasn't using systemd in the 90s when systemd didn't even exist does not mean it should not use it ever, even if it makes sense for GNOME devs to do so now.
