This number diminishes every passing year, with only debian being a bastion of sanity on the "user friendly" side of the distro spectrum.
- growse 4y agoWhy do you think that is?
- ddalex 4y agoBecause more and more software developers use hard dependencies on SystemD making alternatives difficult to maintain ?
- Avamander 4y agoBecause systemd has moved forward while the alternatives haven't. Systemd is not making the alternatives more difficult to maintain, the alternatives are more difficult and more difficult to maintain. Matter of perspective, really.
- ddalex 4y agoI disagree - SystemD has the approach of embrace-extend-extinguish, where it gobbles up services and turns them into their own hard dependency - from DNS to device managers, etc It's a very MS approach instead of a UNIX - do one job.
- Avamander 4y agoI don't think you're very familiar about the difference between systemd the project and systemd-* the different services under that project. They're not that coupled together, including the two you've just listed.
- candiddevmike 4y agoDebian only supports systemd though? No sure what you mean by bastion in the context of systemd. Devuan is the Debian non-systemd fork.
- mid-kid 4y agoDevuan is a distro preconfigured to install without systemd and with enhancements to several packages to require less of systemd. Debian can still be configured to use sysvinit, it's just a bit of a mess.
