MX Linux Forum

Looks there are already a lot of opposing view for systemd.

(In my lotus sutra teaching says, It's a bit extreme, "Cut off root of one evil. Don't tolerate it. Stand boldly."
So "tolerate or cut off". It seems like our hopes are pretty much the same.)

Needless to say, future MX style will very differ depending on main Dev selects.

The question is, can be completely free of systemd and reliable the following basic?

Sound server
Network Manager
If not, then this discussion is useless.

Microsoft's attitude towards Linux has evolved from where it was just a decade or two ago.

That being said, Linux is the most popular OS running on Azure these days. I've heard the ratio of Linux to other is 2:1 but I don't have concrete data to prove it.

Linux wasn't exactly hurting for a better reputation regarding stability before 2011.

After reading many many of your posts I never ever thought of you as easily tricked because of being too trusting.
Time will tell about M$.

Network manager is not free from systemd already, in MX. Dolphin always has to make some tweaks so it works with sysV, from what I understand.
