@lupyuen As someone who's entrypoint to Linux was Ubuntu (after messing around with things like dsl, puppy, and other stuff); can anyone explain to me why systemd is so dang devisive? Is there genuinely anything technically wrong with it, or is it just another vim vs emacs thing?

@rgegriff @lupyuen

somehow is missing from this list, while being systemd free all the time. maybe it's not "sexy" enough :)

"stable" 14.2 is a bit outdated, you could try slackware-current. it's rather stable for a bleeding-edge thing, probably because most things are kept vanilla and not patched to death.

if you want to try -current, AlienBOB creates unofficial installer ISOs for that:
slackware.nl/slackware/slackwa

version 15.0 should be ready sometime this year, if everything goes well.

@bonifartius I'd be shocked to read about Slackware on Linux journo websites. I would think I woke up in an alternate universe. @rgegriff @lupyuen
