  1. Ironic as "major" distros dropped 32bit. by Artemis3 · · Score: 1 · on Microsoft Quietly Cuts Off Windows 7 Support For Older Intel Computers (computerworld.com)

    Thankfully some other distros have ignored that and the dreaded systemd disease.

  2. Re:Microsoft didn't force systemd on me. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Microsoft Further Pledges Linux Loyalty, Joins Cloud Native Computing Foundation (betanews.com)

    With only hobbyist Linux distros now not forcing systemd on me, I've been forced to move to FreeBSD. It wasn't Microsoft that made me ditch Linux; it was the Linux community itself that did that.

    Red Hat was patient zero, and infected both Arch and Debian.
    Ubuntu contracted it from Debian.
    Mint contracted it from Ubuntu.

    There are quarantine zones where systemd dare not tread, and the number of survivors who reach them grows daily.

    There are several great Linux distros without systemd:
    Devuan (a fork; Debian without systemd)
    Gobolinux
    Void Linux

    And of course the old guard distros that had natural immunity to systemd:
    Gentoo
    Slackware

    Don't give up on Linux. It is more crucial than ever to group with other systemd survivors and lend support to those who still need to be evacuated from the contaminated distros.

    I recommend trying out Void Linux as well. IMO, it's basically the lightweight foldable chair of Linux distributions. It's designed to work on small SoCs like the RPi, and it's also systemd free, although I think it's possible to replace runit with it. See chair analogy.

  4. Void Linux by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Informative · on Greg KH Favors Rolling Release Distros

    Try Void Linux, a rolling distro that doesn't suck:

    - System-wide LibreSSL by default (maybe the first linux distro to do so)
    - runit instead of systemd
    - multilib aware ... and more.

    You might want to try another distro, this one has images for odroids

    It has a very fast package manager, But I only tried it out on intel

  6. Re:last usable Debian was squeeze by geroy · · Score: 1 · on Joey Hess Resigns From Debian

    I am exploring some other linux distributions as well as BSD. http://voidlinux.eu/ seems pretty nice but still in early stage of developement. It uses 'runit' as init system, packaging system si something like NetBSD pkgsrc. Other option is to replace all my linux boxes wth NetBSD (as I am using it since 2.0 version) :) Debian is dying, I can clearly see this now and I wonder when stupid people took over leadership of Debian???

  7. Re:What system d really is by marcello_dl · · Score: 1 · on Ask Slashdot: Can You Say Something Nice About Systemd?

    Except that a handful of devs ditched systemd for runit and have a 4000 package distro called voidlinux and it seems to hold pretty well.

    Why can't others do the same?
