Credit to you. Many complained, but you went out of your way to solve the problems. The output here has real value. Thanks.

Can be. I virtually never have issues with OpenSuse TW. Ridiculously stable.

Not useful feedback, so apologies in advance.

While Rustaceons want to rebuild everything in Rust, web devs rebuild everything in Node and js. I personally hate it. A few open source projects I care about are in is and I just cannot. Hate the language except for front end dynamic web page stuff where there is no real alternative.

Inevitable. They're eventually going to kill Java as it don't make the big MTX bucks. Push Fomo of anyone not on Bedrock until people don't mind when they put it out of it's misery.

The art is to make people want what you want.

Is the blue in the bottom image the seas and oceans of the world or areas that China claims as the South China sea?

Ramming Philippines ships in Phillipines waters is hardly peaceful conduct.

Don't get me wrong, USA are horrific and absolutely need to be held to account but that doesn't mean China are good guys. All major world powers act like dicks to maintain their own interests.

Oh, and since when is China socialist? The wealth disparity there is hardly people's ownership of the means of production.

Does not surprise me in the slightest. The mask for Keir is starting to slip for the public. While they were rightly keen to move on from the previous government, they didn't really kick the tires and see the autocratic nature in which he and his team run the party. For example, suspending thousands of members for years, frequently without stating why, due to them being on the left of the party.

The guy also hired a former Israeli spy to a prominent position.

Point taken. Saves me some clicking!

Great talk on SystemD for those that are interested: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=o_AIw9bGogo&pp=2AHFBpACAQ%3D%3D

1. no. Processes have a life cycle other than init. Fire and forget with bash scripts is backwards.

2. I am no expert on this and could not do this answer justice. A quick search will provide a better and more detailed answer. That is if you are willing to consider that SystemD provides benefits. The way you wrote your question gives me vibes that you do not want to, so this debate would be fruitless.

If you're genuinely curious Benno Rice has a great talk on SystemD: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=o_AIw9bGogo&pp=2AHFBpACAQ%3D%3D

Lol. You went from Windows user to extreme Arch user in a very short period of time (SystemD hate).

There is Alpine and Void Linux which are commonly known of and used. Plus more: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Linux_distributions_without_systemd

Most distros independently decided that SystemD was superior. They had a choice and they chose. Distros are often maintained by volunteers in their free time. Same with software that depends on it. Expecting them to provide poor irrelevant choices is not how open source works. You're passing on your backbreaking work onto other people. If you want another option, you give your time to make it happen.

SystemD is not an init system. It provides that functionality, but processes have more life cycle steps than just initialize.

When you accept that, you realise that you cannot compare them.

SystemD provides functionality that they don't. Of course those that refuse to consider this will just claim it's bloat. To some DE's are bloat.
