I saw a post on hackernews about systemd adding age verification, and that it wasn't them just "considering it" but actually trying to merge code to do that

I think this had merits for servers and making sure your OS is secure, but obviously we can't have nice things so this had to be used for mass surveillance etc.
At work I work with a lot of ubuntu servers and my boss already switched all of them over to debian, idk where to go from there tho maybe freebsd lol

Isn’t Linux le good OS doe? If no microslop then what? Apple? TempleOS? Idk maybe dat steam os.

I haven't done this myself, since I don't use Debian, but supposedly you can do in-place migrations from Debian to Devuan.

The only thing I know about systemd is the services, and I like that a lot. Do you know what else systemd does that is important for werk? I don't actually mind using another init system but I hear that systemd does a lot of other things that are important like recently KDE requires you to have it. For servers it's a different story I guess since I don't need a DE for that

I have very bad news fur you.

It’s over

Never gonna use soystemd btw

I haven't used systemd in years and I don't plan to ever go back. This and them actually merging the age storage code signals they are even worse than I thought.

Reading about this I thought it wasn't that bad of an idea until the remote attestation which from some very quick research seems to imply you'd need to expose system information to actually get verified which raises some privacy concerns. If not for that the idea isn't bad

They've had decades to make Linux user-friendly but even the most casual distros are just a veneer under which there is the maze of google-suggested and already deprecated 5 versions ago solutions to the most trivial issues. And now apparently systemd is pozzed so most of the distros that normies are baited into using are about to sell out?

Thank you Gavin Newsom and Zohran Mamdani for causing this.

my copy of Windows 10 IoT LTSC w/MAS doesn't have these issues

>>100167
I fell for the bait and moved to Linux after windows 10 and it was the worst decision I ever made.

Maybe windows 12 will be not doggy doo doo :copium:

>>100172
How so? I'd like to hear what the greatest grievances with Linux are from normalGODs.

>>100172
>Maybe windows 12 will be not doggy doo doo
it will be the worst operating system that the world has ever seen. subscription only, fully cloud based à la stadia or geforce now. kernel level AI integration. age verification via mandatory 24/7 webcam face tracking on top of the SSN-linked biometrics that you need to input before the OS will even boot. advertisements in the file manager

Number 1 issue is that rarely anything works out of the box be it games or software, I couldn't tell you how many times I needed to compile a previous version of python2 or 3 to get something to function (I lied, it was like 3 times) or the annoyance of downloading a "latest stable version" off GitHub only for my dependencies to be "too new" and thus having to go down an alternative route (that wasn't advertised on the GitHub) to get a flatpack(?) of the software.

NOT TO MENTION getting a game to run that wasn't made in the last 5 years is hell, proton database just might be beyond me. I don't understand how there's a database to get old games to run but most of the posts being "with some configurations it will run" but they don't mention what configurations

Not to say it's a horrific OS but the applications for a normie aren't utilized. Setting up game mode to run with Morrowind was neat but it's juuussst not worth ittttttt

I've been using linux since I was a retarded preteen and everything works perfectly on my computer(s) anyone who has trouble with linux is probably a retard who did something stupid. It's a genuine IQ test: can you install linux on a computer and then use it to do everything you need a computer to do?

>>100181
Either are adequate for 90 IQ Linux troubleshooting.

My daily driver has been a Linux box for years. Currently I use Mint.

Not everything is perfect. Some Windows software can be made to work using Proton or WINE. Some can't. Any software update, particularly a kernel update, has a non-zero chance of creating driver problems, the sort of driver problems where, for example, sound, or Bluetooth, just stops working and there's no error message. Hardware that is too old, too new, or insufficiently popular has always suffered where driver support is concerned in Linux. You look for help on forums and see 5+ year old complaints but no fixes   you get used to it.  Windows "just werks" more often, but not 100% of the time.

You get used to it.
