>Init Freedom

While Debian claims that “Systemd is becoming the de facto standard init system for Linux”, a number of GNU/Linux distributions, some new, beg to differ. While Debian claims that “It is better than existing alternatives for all of Debian’s current use cases”, these rebel GNU/Linux distributions refuse this one-size-fits-all vision of the *nix world that breaks portability, ignores backwards compatibility, and replaces existing services, forcing systemd into adoption.

Init Freedom is about restoring a sane approach to PID1, one that respects diversity and freedom of choice.

Although it’s true the venerable sysvinit has flaws that should be addressed in some way, systemd supporters wrongly claim that “systemd is overwhelmingly better than any existing alternative anywhere the technical architecture is involved.” The Init Freedom (IF) Campaign is here to disprove that claim.

>Alternate Init Systems

The following init systems are considered for inclusion in Devuan:

- sinit
- openrc
- runit
- s6
- shepherd

Each of them is a portable, compatible, small, fast, and secure alternative to systemd. None of them was considered by Debian as a replacement for sysvinit: instead they chose between systemd, sysvinit, and upstart, leaving the best options, in our opinion, off the table.

Blacklist from Devuan
The current blacklist is maintained in amprolla.conf:

Comparing data and physical property is a false analogy. They are not even close to being the same thing.

Imagine: instead of being able to use the poisson distribution formula to find the number of independent events in a fixed time, you have to pay for a license for PoissonFormPro, enter your inputs, and then at the end you only get the answer, instead of a proof of why this important thing is true

Now imagine it's like this for all of math: nobody actually knows how to calculate the volume of anything, because that's handled by CalcPro, which is owned by the Newton-Liebniz corporation, and you just have to trust that they're right, and hopefully they are, or else the spaceship you're trying to engineer is going to blow up.

Software is 100% the same thing and it's disgusting on every intellectual level that presently some people are ignorant enough to think that this is okay.
>>
>>60082577
An Operating System (OS) is a set of programs that provides an interface to the hardware part of the computer: resource, device, power, and memory management belong to the OS.

The core of the OS in charge of operating the circuitry and managing peripherals is called the kernel. The default flavor of Devuan comes with Linux.

The first process launched after the kernel is loaded into memory is called init. This process bearing PID 1 is in charge of services running on the system: it ensures they start in order, control they’re running fine, shut them down, and inherit crashed processes. This init process MUST not die, or the whole system goes away with it. Therefore Devuan recommends using lean init systems that do one thing, and do it well. By default Jessie runs with the same init system as Debian Wheezy, the venerable sysvinit. Several projects are under way to provide runit, and sinit support in Devuan, as well as openrc and s6.

Services take care of normal functionality of your system: networking, logging, authentication, language, dictionary, search, software updates, printing, graphical display, etc.

Oh yeah, they're different services totally not like systemd just discount the fact that systemd is in fact a suite of tools not one monolithic program. In fact the entirety of it is 69 cleanly separated binaries each doing their own thing. Also, you must fail to comprehend that in a traditional Linux setup, sysvinit, start-stop-daemon, inetd, cron, dbus, all implemented its own scheme to execute processes with various configuration options. On systemd the code paths for all of this, for the configuration parsing, as well as the actual execution is shared. This means less code, less place for mistakes, less memory and cache pressure. Systemd haters are just plain fucking dumb, old init systems are a fucking mess, there is a reason that the vast majority of distro maintainers decided to use systemd. You're just too dumb to understand.

And I think basically everyone agrees that this is a Good Thing and a major improvement over the way things used to be.

It's all the horrible downsides that ins systemd come with these improvements that made a lot of people think twice.

I don't think any of the systemd haters, myself included, deny that systemd has brought a lot of improvements that were a long time coming. It's the question of whether all the downsides are worth it that is causing the consternation.

>there is a reason that the vast majority of distro maintainers decided to use systemd.
Are you a distro maintainer? Because I am.

Let me tell you why the vast majority of distro maintainers want systemd. It's because it's easier on the maintainers, and supporting multiple init systems is a pain in the ass. All valid reasons. But the degree to which systemd is better or worse than alternatives for the USER wasn't really a motivation.

Nobody was forcing anyone to support multiple init systems before systemd. What the fuck kind of argument is this?

>downsides
What?

>But the degree to which systemd is better or worse than alternatives for the USER wasn't really a motivation.
It's better for everyone

Hey, /fglt/ I need some advice/opinions on choosing a GPU for my first build, specifically driver performance.

I'm *not* looking to game on linux. My main concern is keeping temps down, and not killing the card while being able to watch the occasional chinese cartoon. I have heard that open source nvidia drivers have had a history of being bad, where AMD drivers are usually decent. Maybe I heard wrong, but I don't know, which is why I'm asking here.

Specifically, I'm comparing a 480x and a 1070 if that helps. Any input on personal driver performance would be helpful too. Thanks.

so systemd is bad because it's popular, right?

If anyone designs their free software in such a way to promote people relying on it unnecessarily, and explicitly try to foster community norms for using and depending on their software and to hell with anyone for whom that causes problems, I think they deserve hate, free software or not.

The expression “the Linux kernel” can easily be misunderstood as meaning “the kernel of Linux” and implying that Linux must be more than a kernel. You can avoid the possibility of this misunderstanding by saying or writing “the kernel, Linux” or “Linux, the kernel”.

In August 2015, systemd now provides a login shell, callable via machinectl shell.

Graphical frontends

A few graphical frontends are available, including:

systemd-ui

Also known as systemadm, it is a simple GTK+-based graphical front-end for systemd. It provides a simple user interface to manage services and a graphical agent to request passwords from the user. As of 2014 the systemadm program has received little development or maintenance in the last few years, because development focus has shifted to command-line tools like systemctl and systemd-analyze.

systemd-kcm

Provides a graphical systemd frontend for the KDE Plasma 5 desktop. It integrates into the system settings window and allows monitoring and controlling of systemd units and logind sessions, as well as graphical editing of configuration files.

----------------------

“ I don’t actually have any particularly strong opinions on systemd itself. I’ve had issues with some of the core developers that I think are much too cavalier about bugs and compatibility, and I think some of the design details are insane (I dislike the binary logs, for example), but those are details, not big issues.”

Systemd popularity is purely the result of an aggressive, dictatorial marketing strategy including elements such as:

— Engulfing other "essential" system components like udev and making them difficult or impossible to use without systemd (but see eudev).

— Setting up for API lock-in (having the DBus interfaces provided by systemd become a necessary API that user-level programs depend on).

— Dictating policy rather than being scoped such that the user, administrator, or systems integrator (distribution) has to provide glue. This eliminates bikesheds and thereby fast-tracks adoption at the expense of flexibility and diversity.

When the bolsheviks tried the first coup in 1905 everyone(virtually)didn't take them seriously.
They failed. Many people warned that they should be killed by the white army but the Tsar didn't listen, he instead went to make deals with them
A few years later in 1917 they killed everyone and spread the judeo-bolshevik to the world

It's not "about distro[s] like antergos and manjaro", it's "about the general decline statistically for users to desire higher (or, for that matter, fundamental) understanding of their system, leading to the equal decline in focus on efficiency/lowlevel development and shifted focus to higher level (higher level in the sense of high level programming [java, js, py, etc]) features that provide interfaces to people, lacking CLI developments for those who care"

New thread when?

Arch is the base system. Installing a distro based on a distro (based on a distro, based on a distro, ad infinitum) isn't efficient, and each link of the distro-chain adding their own biased... additions, isn't raw, it isn't firm. It's not simple anymore, as "simple" it is to install.

If you aren't a newbie, installing a raw/firm distro with a script either you've written yourself, or a script borrowed from someone else (I quite obviously prefer the former) will ease the time-consuming "typing". That said, I have an avg wpm of 126. Typing fast is not an issue for me, especially if the inputs are second nature by now.

That said, scripts do assist in acting as a super-fast way to handle inputs - a LOT faster than I could with 126 wpm, considering kernel level pedantices and all.

Again.
Simplicity should be raw. Simplicity shouldn't be "hide the junk behind a wall that the user won't peer behind".

It should be RAW. Fundamental. That's simple. Not whatever garbage Antergos or Manjaro is.

Another note:
I've experienced Manjaro, because I wanted to try its' "simplicity" at one point.
There were many issues, gripes, TROUBLES I had with it. Since it did defaults the way it wanted and added in more software I didn't need, I spent too much time 'cleaning' it than actually 'using' it.

These are just thoughts, not an essay - albeit long like one - so things may get disjointed in this post. And I apologise for that, though I give you benefit of the doubt to understand and adhere to the context of my words.

For some reason the scaling is weird with these, hmmm

How bad?

if arch is meant to be simple, why is it using systemd?

>>60086948
Simple for the devs.

meanwhile on manjaro https://sourceforge.net/projects/manjaro-openrc/

As a user systemd is fuckton more simple than running 399 rc scripts consequently at startup. That's the reason why I don't use BSD

>>60087093
wew, didn't know systemd is actually KISS

Things that actually work is simple
Things that don't isn't
