@lynnesbian Linux system design is a fucking mess anyway it causes this whole divergent and deviant distro situation

@lynnesbian also arch sucks if I have to read documentation on every package before updating and do menial ops work to maintain the expected behavior of the os

@Jame You don't have to do those things, and beyond the package manager, distros basically don't matter.

@lynnesbian really, the most rank bunch I've come across are OpenSUSE evangelists.

@cant_into firstly:https://radical.town/@Jame/101406954711012942secondly, not every linux environment uses systemd or even the same design principle when it comes to core/library/etc location or the design of embedded linux distros like Android or other firmware which uses a linux kernel.

@cant_into but sure I guess distros don't matter since everyone just shits everything onto their core system (every gcc library & package manager by default) or into shims (node.js, ruby, python) in the linux world anway

@Jame well now you've got me curious. What do you run on? Some BSD or something?

@cant_into yeah I used to run FreeBSD and contribute to parts of it as part of a job and I found their whole community to be far better oriented towards making good design decisions.Which is probably easier when you're a far smaller project, but they do it with a lot of diverging interests at play (which is no small feat).about the time that I worked there I really started noticing the corporate-oriented decisionmaking Linux as a full community seems to have. Which is their prerogative.

@Jame corporate? Unless you're talking about how a lot of the kernel and utilities are dev'd by megacorps, how do you mean?

@cant_into like, when you look at who's calling the shots when it comes to the megacorps' development of linux software, it tends to be those corporations themselves in the email threads, discussions, etc. This was more a practical feel from my interactions with those mediums, which other people who had more experience tended to confirm. I'd be glad to be proven wrong though, if you or anyone else were to know better

@Jame Can't say I do. You coming from FreeBSD definitely helps make sense of your view though. Going from something so well organised to this, I'd probably dump on it too.

@cant_into to be honest if you ever want to bag on someone who works on or with freebsd just say it’s discount solaris since that’s where it gets all of its system design and virtualization principles
