Your options are limited significantly if you want to avoid it, but yes, there are options. I use a steam deck primarily and while I can re install the OS, it’s a significant amount of fiddling for a worse experience.
My issue with systemd is not that it’s ‘hard to use’ or anything. My issue is that it’s getting harder to avoid as time goes on.
I understand that you personally are fine with it, but this is apparently a trigger for me, so please accept my apology in advance for offering commentary.
This is only really true for desktop PC hobbyists. SteamOS is responsible for a huge spike of Linux usage recently and that is Systemd-only. it’s true that you can install something else but it’ll be a significantly worse user experience. This is the case for basically any handheld Linux device, and all corporate investment is going to systemd based distros.
The alternatives are less polished and switching distros is a relatively costly proposition if you are not a hobbyist (in terms of opportunity cost and time spent without a functional computer). Handheld devices such as the steam deck are much less flexible as well.
Arch, Fedora, Debian/Ubuntu all use systemd. SteamOS/CachyOS are based off Arch. Bazzite is Fedora-based.
If you use Linux for gaming, you are not going to have a good time avoiding systemd. It’s certainly true that some distributions don’t use it, but their market share is limited.
It seems dismissive to ignore the trends and investment in the ecosystem going towards systemd based distributions.
It attracts a lot of silent disagreement that’s for sure.
By far my most controversial post was negative about systemd, while posts on Palestine, anarchy, etc. received no negative attention at all.
Why do so many people think it’s a good thing??
Thanks, I’ll try it out
Relevant to the intentional murder of the consumer electronics industry
I set up WinBoat for FL Studio and it’s close enough to be functional.
Would these drones show up on flight radar?
Assuming not, I wonder how hard they would be to detect and track.
emacs heretic! begone from this place!
pointy stick and dirt clearing or gtfo
you know who else–
Conveniently, they track metadata that can easily be associated with people, like license plates, Bluetooth IDs, oh and also they do track people
I missed that detail, valid
To go against the grain of the other commenters, I’m not a woman but I have similar issues with tiredness, and prescribed stimulants have dramatically improved my life over the past ~15 years.
None of them are risk free, if you have short term memory issues like me which seems plausible, it’s easy to forget if you took the afternoon adderall.
Vyvanse/Elvanse etc are wonderful because you can just take it once in the morning and no rollercoaster. The downside is for me at least, it’s hard on the stomach until you get acclimated.
I don’t seem prone to misusing it now that I have gotten a good routine but it’s definitely a risk and I know many people who used it to cure boredom or avoid sleeping. That is a bad path and you don’t see it until too late.
It can be a lifesaver if you use it correctly.
Killing the consumer hardware market is hand in hand with killing 3d printing and chat control.
The element you’re missing, is that fascists have no need to honestly represent their ideas on the debate stage.
When you platform a fascist, you’re just giving them a megaphone to lie about how they are actually progressive and left-wing but an immigrant took their job, so now we should round all immigrants up and deport them to Sudan.
Good to know, I honestly have never tried to use Debian (not counting Ubuntu occasionally for work)
