Systemd is the Kanye West of vibe-coding.

1. Take a non-stop Linux box where even the kernel can be patched while it's hot
2. Glance at d-bus sideways
3. Now you must reboot.

I don't know why but I just found it incomprehensible.

#alwaysHasBeen, but for us graybeards the confusion has been "this is a solution with no problem" and "it's eaten WHAT now?"

Exactly what you would expect from a junior engineer.

Except junior engineers become seniors. If you don't understand this ... are you HR?

basically about superman's girlfriend,

And casting Teri Hatcher in that role, someone who's very expressive and versatile, was a huge success.

"Go edit the source" is starting to look like the new "let them eat cake".

How quickly you trivialize the work of the experienced kde devs that some pedestrian can wander in and mod a large project without fear.

Remember when the news was so calm that there was time to talk about the shit Nestle has done this week?

Those were better times. And to think it's only been a few short decades since Biden left office.

Fedora

Any RPM-based system has exemplary validation and, as long as we don't throw it out with flatsnappimages, it presents a very clean and maintainable install.

Extra points for PCLinuxOS which has avoided lennart's cancer.

No points for SuSE as they continue to exist as the over engineered bastard child of slackware and RPM, like slackware met 73deJeff on a trip and let the tequila do the talking. Mamma mia!

I’m supposed to wade through all the log files in /var/log myself??

You configured your logging. You could have made them all one file.

predictable and consistent.

Or none of those.

Oh. My NIC didn't 'start' because systemd and network manager are fighting again? Neet.

But why?

I a world where we can't really be sure what's in an upgrade, a super-clean start that burns any ephemeral data is about the best way to ensure a consistent start.

And consistency gives reliability, as much as we can get without validation (validation is "compare to what's correct", but consistency is "try to repeat whatever it was").
