  • Can someone break down the real differences between kbin, mbin, Lemmy, and PieFed? I know they're all in the Threadiverse, but I'm not sure what the draw is to use one over another.

  • This like comes from distrowatch. Yes means the distro is using systemd:

    • 1 CachyOS: Yes
    • 2 Linux Mint: Yes
    • 3 MX Linux: Optional
    • 4 Pop!_OS: Yes
    • 5 Debian: Yes
    • 6 Zorin OS Yes
    • 7 EndeavourOS: Yes
    • 8 Manjaro: Yes
    • 9 Fedora: Yes
    • 10 Ubuntu: Yes
    • 11 AnduinOS: Yes
    • 12 openSUSE: Yes
    • 13 Bazzite: Yes
    • 14 Nobara: Yes
    • 15 Arch Linux: Yes
    • 16 elementary OS: Yes
    • 17 antiX: No
    • 18 NixOS: Yes

    As we can see, the major popular distros use systemd.

  • Sure, if you choose a distro like Artix that doesn't use systemd, then yes. However, the major distros use systemd and will continue to do so because it is a critical component of Linux. Once the Linux kernel has finished loading into memory, systemd takes over in user space. Major distros cannot simply switch to a fork on a whim because they need to be completely sure that it is stable and will not cause any compatibility issues.

    Let's not forget that Ubuntu, SUSE and Red Hat are used in professional settings, so they won't change to a fork.

  • Let's be realistic. All these forks will get us nowhere because systemd has become a platform on which major components of the Linux system depend. KDE's new login depends on systemd, as does Gnome.

    These forks are just a reaction to the latest addition. They will fizzle out.

  • I believe the MacBook Neo was a real wake-up call for management. Apple dominates the high-budget market. Now that Apple has entered the low-budget market, it could threaten their market share, as well as Copilot's.

  • do u think apple will kill somehow Asahi Linux in future?

  • Interesting. What are the articles you recommend to read about this subject?

  • CachyOS Is Now the Most Popular Desktop Distro on ProtonDB

  • The RogAlly is not Cachy's objective. It's for regular desktop use.

  • Yes.

  • Which Linux distro for home server?

  • Ubuntu or Debian. I'm using Ubuntu and it has never failed me.

  • Claude Code deletes developers' production setup, including its database and snapshots — 2.5 years of records were nuked in an instant

    Jump

  • Given that the infrastructure description included the DataTalks.Club website, this resulted in a full wipe of the setup for both sites, including a database with 2.5 years of records, and database snapshots that Grigorev had counted on as backups. The operator had to contact Amazon Business support, which helped restore the data within about a day.

    sigh, SNAPSHOTS ARE NOT BACKUPS!

  • I don't think running Caddy in a container is needed. All my apps are docker images and Caddy is a system app. I treated as an important OS app.

  • As in you can podman-compose as you would with docker-compose to set up any docker image?
