freeman comments on In your opinion, which FOSS software is by many considered "old" or "obsolete", but are in fact, in your opinion, in many ways better than the newer alternatives?

My distaste for systemd has been replaced by my distaste for netplan.

I hadn't heard of it, so I looked it up, and…WTF? Systemd-networkd with extra steps? Systemd-networkd does not need extra steps!

Yeah. The worst part is that things it’s supposed to protect against like applying a bad config doesn’t work half the time. I’ve run the test command before and it just buggered the box until I made a drive.

Oh yeah and they recently (at least witb Ubuntu) chnaged their default for DHCP from using a MAC address to a UUID for the dhcp identifier. Which is amazing if you use dhcp reservations because suddenly your box is just off on another IP.

Netplan is 100% a solution that didn’t have a problem to begin with

Honestly, if Ubuntu hadn't pushed snaps so damned hard, I'd probably still be running Ubuntu. I don't hate them. But... They're just obnoxious. Honestly, I wish Flatpaks and Appimages weren't pushed so hard on other distros too. But, such is life.

I quite like systemd and netplan. Though the latter I can live without.
