Are we still fighting systemd?
Why beyond being different? Proudly announcing "but I don't use systemd" seems less like a humblebrag and more like an old man "get off my lawn"
- oooyay 3y agoI was curious because my gut says ideology about the vastness of systemd. Turns out, there's still a number of systems that don't make use of systemd: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Linux_distributions_without_systemd https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Linux_distributions... They may have more nuanced answers.
- k_roy 3y agoSure. I used to be one of the ideological ones using Devuan. "A number" being the operative word here. It's a small number, and for a pretty good reason. I get there is an important reason to have choice, but bragging about how you don't use systemd is just meme-y and comes from a place of (misplaced) elitism usually.

I think you're projecting. No one bragged about such a thing, they just merely mentioned their specific situation. It's not all text-editor-wars and squabbles, as stated and even acknowledged before : there exist reasons aside from nerd elitism to choose something other than systemd.
- serf 3y agoit's not a statement of pride, it's a statement of fact : this doesn't support systemd. there are a lot of decisions that go into using older/obscure/specific software aside from 'pride', and simply wishing that some software supported other stuff is by no means 'fighting' anything.
- k_roy 3y agoNo projection here: "Love it-- but since I'm not using systemd, it's a no-go. Would love to see it support more diverse systems" That poor lack of diversity.
