Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • 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 will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 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 sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    I see ! Is this a concrete issue, as in does your system stall easily ? or is it more ideological ? Sometimes it's difficult to make sense of that as a layman

    It's really a non-issue, on modern CPUs (Multiple cores, 3+GHz) with modern amounts of memory (8 - 32+GB) it's barely noticeable. I've never heard of Systemd causing the computer to stall and most users will never even be aware of the relatively high memory consumption.

    The biggest flaw with Systemd is violating the Unix philosphy, Systemd does multiple things for example. The only people who are going to actively hunt down things like Artix probably have used / use Gentoo or Arch (I use Arch btw) and running a very minimal install. I'd be flabbergasted if any mainstream distro like Ubuntu replaces Systemd (Knowing Cannonical it'll be a Snap-packaged init system lol).
