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 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 will not be tolerated.
  • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 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.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe 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.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  • Β 

    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 remove France.

    bootload, manage devices, manage the network interface, manage accounts, log in, provide a host for temp files, schedule stuff, log events

    All of this is background stuff to me so I don't care

    (n.b.: systemd also suffers from a linux kernel vs linux situation. systemd has a component named systemd that only does services stuff)

    You forgot manage containers, manage system timers, manage network interfaces (in some cases)...

    DNS resolution, clock synchronization, there's something about keyboard configuration but it stopped to make me problems for no reason so I don't know what exactly...

    Oh, and IPC so that Gnome can not be done until other inits won't run!

    But there are a lot of other modules.

    manage system timers, manage network interfaces

    I said "manage the network interface" and "schedule stuff"

    manage containers

    That requires podman or some other program, so that's like saying shell does container management

    [–] SuperIce@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

    That requires podman or some other program.

    No, systemd-nspawn doesn't need any other container management program, it's its own thing.

    You're right about the first two, but as someone pointed out already, wrong about the last.

    Also see machinectl

    I believe you mean GNU/SystemD/Linux......
