Yes, to all of those, though some take more work than others. It says a lot that "systemd vs init.d" instead of "systemd vs sysvinit" was there. The question is not about the ecosystem, though, but about the kernel itsel

Looking Glass is kind of the closest you'll get for a trivial "I want shared GPU virtualization on my workstation", but GPU partitioning doesn't really work that way. Outside of the baseline support in the hardware itsel

This summary page is absolutely terrible. It appears to be an open-source implementation of nvidia-cli for managing mdevs, which is arbitrarily nice, but it's not clear to end-users what this means. Pre-Ampere GPUs (Ampere+ is MIG) wer

This looks like a good first contribution. hostnamectl DOES talk to sd_dbus, which DOES require systemd, which DOES require being PID1, and this message only pops up if you're in a container without the full subsystem running, access t

This is the opposite of how it worked. Again, I left a couple of years ago, but the methodology was "get a bug/RFE downstream, reproduce upstream if it's still there or implement the feature, get it through code review and me

RHEL6 used upstart also. I had to write/maintain upstart files, too. systemd picked up steam inside Red Hat because of the number of edge cases upstart DID NOT handle. It didn't do socket based activation at all. It didn't ha

Desktop Linux is not Red Hat's core business and it hasn't been for a long, long time. Way before pulse or systemd. This is, fundamentally, a gross misunderstanding or misrepresentation of the way that open source works in general

My experience is that it broadly falls into two categories. The first is comprised of people who never actually had to wrangle sysvinit/upstart (openrc is relatively sane), and have never seen the ridiculous amount of engineering time

I've never used it, but I guarantee that Proxmox can pass through PCIe devices with VFIO, and USB requires no hardware support at all. vmkernel hardware passthrough has exactly the same requirements (IOMMU support).
