For knowledge and awareness about what using Linux is really like and pointing at its cultish toxic community. We also cover FOSS /FLOSS failures, and issues with GPL since it relates to Linux. Moderation is heavy handed to appeal to our target users.
Rules:
- FOSS (especially GPL) advocates and Linux (specifically GNU/Linux) evangelists aren't welcome (GNU Hurd will count as Linux). -We ask that you block us and we will perma-ban for violations of this rule.
- Try to stay on topic (that is LINUXSUCKS!). No bashing other OSs or each other. We aim for a cohesive non-toxic community with the interest of cautioning people / would be victims from Linux. At our discretion, we will remove what we consider pollution.
- Moderators run the sub, not the users. It's not democratic, and we don't care how you think it should be run. -Feel free to make and run your own community.
- "Not your Billboard" -Over-represented companies will have positive posts removed and appropriate bans may be issued. -Those companies included so far will be Valve/Steam/Proton, Google, and Brave (browser).

Systemd is on my list of "meh, who cares, it works". Plus, it's been so long since I messed around with initd that I don't think I'm able to do it without relearning stuff.
I'm not a big fan of systemd messing with dns, but I'll survive. I'm sure I can do some fidgeting and disable it, relying on editing /etc/resol.conf like I used to, but it works well enough now that I can't be arsed.
We prefer "best practice adherents".
Best practices change. For example, no one is still recommending manually editing the CHS start of a boot partition on your spinning rust device in order to optimize throughput.
what's not to like? seriously, what's not systemd these days? it just absorbs coreutils like a cancer.
except for Systemd-Resolve.
Please just let me resolve wildcards. I don't want to install dnsmasq just for this.
