I personally am very much happy that Linux is not like the Linux I learned. Slackware was an excellent learning experience and will always hold a dear place in my heart and memories, but not on any of my computers.
- fernandotakai 8mo agosame. i still remember how painful it was to setup services without systemd. having to manually deal with daemons was so painful, to the point of being exoteric.
- Tistron 8mo agoExoteric is the opposite of esoteric, which is the word you mean :)
- claudex 8mo agoThe worst was editing an existing service for the distribution. With systemd you just need an override file, without, you have to patch the file and review it each time it is upgraded to check the differences.
