Did you intend it to sound so dirty?

EDIT: I'll just see myself out before my sense of humor harms me...

Be mindful of your posting.

The coming year will finally be the year of “Linux on the Desktop.”

to be fair, I would be a tad upset if I could no longer use any word, N or otherwise.

I think that would be 2096 actually.

I know. The running joke is that next year will be the year of “Linux on the Desktop” that was spewed on blog posts back in the early 2000's.

ah, gotcha. Funny enough, in North Korea it is already Year of the Linux Desktop: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Star_OS
(based on Fedora it probably uses systemd too)

Hi Folks,

I'm confused by the (seeming) contradiction in the MX-25 announcement in news:

"Official releases for Fluxbox and Xfce will have separate isos featuring systemd and sysVinit respectively. "

"If folks want a totally systemd-free distro using Debian repositories check out antixlinux.com for more information."

Does this mean that if I download and install MX-25 XFCE with sysV, that I will somehow be restricted from using certain Debian 13 applications, because they will be "systemd-only"?

I guess we will never know seeing as it's a closed source distro that looks like a mac starting with version 3. https://www.northkoreatech.org/2014/01/ ... -goes-mac/

If you currently run programs that require booting to systemd, then you would download the systemd version of the ISO, otherwise grab the sysVinit ISO.
That goes for both XFCE and fluxbox. KDE will only be released as a systemd ISO.
