You can switch seamlessly between systemd and openrc on gentoo. Although it might be worth using one of the debian derivatives in this user’s case - not sure they should be messing with their system too much!
Now remove the rest of the OS; it’s bloat.
Arch?
Arch?
Who needs that pesky kernel and bloated bootloader anyway?
Refuse computers, go back to Abacus
That’s a bit much, perhaps though they should use a real mode OS
Why shackle yourself to a physical object? Just use your brain!
I think I would have preferred
sudo apt-get remove --purge systemd
Yeah, some old habits never die.install that rm -rf theme
Install devuan

Just remove system d See easy
😄 About time to have an exclusive SystemD O.S. so that these new users understand not to fiddle with PID Eins /s /j
We’ll just need systemd-kernel and systemd-coreutils in order to create a full systemd os free from Stallman and Torvald tyranny. It’ll be glorious! \s
I believe you can install
runit
in debian. It’ll be like devuan but with extra steps.Yeah both runit and sysvinit are supported, but packages are no longer required to include sysvinit scripts, so there’s no guarantee that all software will work. Most have kept their sysvinit script though.
The main issue will be that systemd does a lot of stuff, so you’d have to install replacements for everything else it does - like a syslog daemon for logging, ntp client for clock syncing, DNS resolver, etc.

Stupidity is entertaining.
rm -yrf ~/*
(Just in case, don’t do that)
What do you mean that’s not the name of your cat and I shouldn’t type it in my terminal?
Only at work when logged in to the admin account.
You know that Linux has protection against
rm -rf /
since a few years ?Guess it’s a sign that Linus got milder on the way, growing old :-) And the terrible BOFH joke of this grew old and boring as well. Gotta take care about new Linux users.
Actually that’s RMS getting older. Afaik only GNU rm protects the root.
🙂 👍
rm
is part of GNU or busybox though.They said ~/
I don’t think there’s any protection for the current user’s home directory
what? Will it warn me for removing the french language pack? That’s what I call bloat!!
😄
That wasn’t the command I wrote though
I removed the transmission from my car but now it won’t drive
I mean if you’ve never seen or used a car before, and someone from a position of relative authority or trust gave you a very convincing argument that a particular part that you don’t understand is easy to remove and you’ll benefit from it…
Yeah it’s pretty reasonable that the average person might shoot themselves in the foot by letting them remove that part (tell them a command to run).
systemd is more like, uhh, ignition that takes care of way too many things beyond starting the engine
It is closer to the ECU on a car (in more ways than one).
It’s like saying automatic transmission is worse than manual transmission.
That’s what you get for transphobia my dude
he fuckin got me there
MX, always based on latest Debian, is using sysVinit, but you can also boot with systemd if you want, it supports both. MX is pretty popular, simple, fast, Xfce by default, and very up to date on everything. I’m using it for 6 years now, on laptop, PC. Also maybe it’s me, but no flatpak, no snap, etc, not needed, for instance latest FF is a standard .deb
All these files are backed up in /System32 folder
Seeing it with a forward slash is just weird.
Windows hss supported slashes in both directions for a very long time. I almost exclusively use forward slashes to reduce mental load when switching between OSes.
Sadly not for UNC paths. Those open as if it’s a webpage.
Install sysv, return to monke
Sell computer, return to monke
I removed and sold the wheels of my car, now it does not move.

Smartest systemd hater.

You greatly overestimate the intelligence of the average Stack Exchange question asker.
Maybe they knew, but wanted to see what would happen.
Then post about how horribly complicated Linux is.
They forgot that heart transplant requires replacing the removed heart with another one and then connecting the blood vessels before closing up.
You can’t just take it out and say “I’ll put in another one after dinner”
