  • That’s weird, other package systems have that solved by recompiling the kernel as a post-update hook that the update command waits for before exiting.

    Seems like a bug that fedora’s packaging system doesn’t work like that.

    I guess it’ll be a thing of the past when all systems use the new open source Nvidia driver, but there are still a lot of GPUs out there that aren’t supported by it.

    It’s sole reason to exist is “no systemd because we hate it” (their tagline is literally something childish about “real init systems”) and they’re willing to drop GNOME and friends on a dime for that goal.

    Choosing Artix is like choosing some fork that differentiates itself by refusing to package vim for some reason.

    That’ll do it. The work might be impressive, but why care about a project that has one purely spite-driven goal that makes no technical or social sense?

    It uses real init systems

    What a completely childish tagline. Even if there was any merit to all the systemd hate, calling it “not a real init system” is absurd.

    They stopped supporting GNOME based desktops and treat that in the most “sour grapes” way imaginable …

    Oh I’m sure there was valid critique, but at the time it was completely hidden under a pile of made-up conspiracy bullshit about red hat being the devil or so, or plain wrong assertions like “it’s monolithic” or “it forces you to use binary logging”.

    If the debate would have been about technical merits, maybe one of the other init systems would have won by being slightly better, but systemd’s detractors prevented that really well by making the public “debate” a compete farce.

    Wayland has to overcome more real problems than systemd (because X11 was a giant monolith of compatibility hacks that everybody used, as opposed to a hundred piles of messy shell scripts that was SYSV init). But it has no alternatives that could possibly have more technical merit; I can’t even remember the thing Ubuntu announced for a hot minute.
