preach!

I don’t have a car, so if I have to go ‘back to the office’, I will have to use the bus, wake up earlier, and commuting (even with my current employer being 15’ away by bus) is still 30 minutes out of my day that I don’t want to spend. When I am at home, I can just stand up, play some piano to relax, or have a short shower. Things that help me calm a little bit that I can’t do at an office. I also have a better setup than the setup at the company’s office, so why bother.

To be honest, as long as companies open remote positions, I don’t think I want to go back to any office whatsoever.

to be honest, i agree with you. Although you can learn the same things through debian or ubuntu for example, their wikis are in no-way comparable to arch+gentoo. Having tried LFS, I think it is a great experience but definitely not something i could daily-drive. FreeBSD is something I have not tried; nixOS as well. I have used OpenBSD but it feels a bit slow compared to linux - at least as a desktop OS.

Every distribution offers different things. I like debian sid for the simplicity and general software availability, but APT is something i still consider a bit clunky. I like arch because of its barebones philosophy - arch wiki helped me a lot learn about linux. I like gentoo - the wiki is awesome and portage is a great package manager. It was the first time I saw how the linux kernel gets compiled. It makes you appreciate all the work the devs do. I now read the title and you ask for the opposite. But someone might find these bad, so i will post it as-is

systemd brings much functionality. It can’t follow unix philosophy because unix is 50 years old. the whole community drama about this systemd VS sysV VS OpenRC VS whatever comes up, is funny. There are distros that are systemd-free if you wish so much to avoid it.

Damn. It feels bad even though I never met this man in person. RIP legend!! :'(

I feel like instead of writing ‘fuck spez’ on reddit, the best decision is to ditch it completely. I mean, I do still visit reddit due to some niche communities that don’t have that big of a user-base on lemmy, but clearly reddit exists for 10+ years. The change can’t happen overnight. In any case, I am still astonished by how quickly lemmy got that much traffic. From a small village, it has turned into a city, it’s incredible. :)
