@[email protected] my final disillusionment in systemd, 2026 colorized
@[email protected] probably gonna be switching to a systemd-less distro this weekend, most likely just gonna pick devuan but I'm open to suggestions I guess -w-

Edit: oh right, alpine linux exists

There's also @VoidLinux

However, be advised that due to their packaging philosophy of "just ship reasonably up to date versions of upstream" as a corollary implies, that if some projects (say Vim, for example) decides to slop, then the packages shipped in the default repos will be sloppy, too.

Maybe it's time to introduce a nonslop repository, or better yet, put all sloppy projects into a sloppy repository.

@datenwolf @VoidLinux @[email protected] to be fair I always found their package manager a bit unintuitive but that's just me

@datenwolf genuine question: what is a distro supposed to do other than just.. providing up to date upstream versions? no distro will be maintaining forks because of ai use, or removing popular packages
