Responses to Coming changes in impending MX 25 release.

Depends on what you mean by "older". If it's older than anything that can run the current version of systemd, you may be better off with antiX as you will struggle even with a SysV MX.

Absolutely. Doesn't hurt to try the SysV MX and AntiX to see what works best for the use case.

.... such as not being able to easily tell what kind of system is installed.

I'm using this in one of my conky's to always show me what type of boot-mode and systemd or sysvinit is in use:

Code: Select all

#system
${font Roboto-Light:bold:pixelsize=14}${offset 12}${color3}${no_update ${if_existing /sys/firmware/efi}UEFI${else}BIOS${endif}} \
${offset 2}${color4}\
${font RobotoMono-Light:bold:pixelsize=12}${no_update ${if_existing /run/systemd/system}systemd${else}SysVinit${endif}}

Note the test in "/run/systemd/system" is hardcoded test within systemd source itself, b/c it's needed also when init itself is based on systemd, which is possible, but debian fortunately is using busybox within the init not systemd.

Isn't Devuan a systemd-free version of Debian?

I don't know if they have the personnel to manage troublesome drivers but, if so, that might resolve some hassles for sys-V users?

People who use the word "woke" in a non self-referential way usually don't know what it means (or they think it means whatever they imagine it means)
Also, in my experience the Venn diagram of people who are upset they can no longer use the n-word and the people who use "woke" in this manner is almost a circle.

I would stay away from that word...

Putting up a/that flag is political. Is it allowed on this forum?

Where you hurt by my opinion and you quoted me asking me about something that is totally not related to what I was talking about?

What does your question have to do anything to do with what I said? I haven't mentioned forum rules or flags... so xxxxx?

.. so xxxxx?

From the forum rules:

...Do not use swear words, whether directly or masked with other characters...

So, does this does not apply in this case?

Look closer. It's not a flag (although it might resemble one at a casual glance). It's actually a picture of a wheat field under a blue sky. A scene that would be common in western Canada or the mid-west USA. As such it is an acceptable image.

Also from the forum rules is this

And also even if it was specifically a Ukrainian flag, how exactly is Ukraine existing itself overly political?
Anyways, offtopic stuff over. I just needed to get that off my chest.
