2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves / tolerates / hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

Being subjected to both OpenRC and Systemd, I can appreciate both but Systemd is convenient and gets the job done. Maybe it's how the service is packaged and not OpenRC's fault, but I get better logging with Systemd services. Status of a failing service on OpenRC is it exited and that's all I get. Guess I have to fuck around and find the logs myself (because search results are people telling you to find them), whereas its a better time in Systemd.

Shepherd gang. Pretty sure only one distro uses it, but i'd love to know if i'm wrong.
I avoid relying on it too much and don't make any especially custom configurations. I honestly don't like it. But the alternatives just never really seemed much better, so I use it by default. If there were a truly good replacement with good documentation and examples, I'd adopt it.
The only thing I didn't like about systemd was the unfamiliarity of the commands. Typing systemctl and a verb and a service and some more arguments feels a bit clunky.
But otherwise it all seems to make sense to me - lots of little services running with least privilege, very simple description of services in unitary files, secure binary logging with proper filtering, proper utilisation of cgroups to reliably kill processes and enforce limits, parallel startup/shutdown etc.
Most of the objections I've see to it online seem miss the point and ignore answers which would solve or refute their objections.
I can't live with out the CachyOS patches. I need the optimized repos which you can add to Artix but really shouldn't. I got the CachyOs kernel installed in Artix. I was so surprised that didn't break anything. All of the tinkering for a system that's less capable than CachyOS just didn't seem worth it and I gave up.
