Big fan of #Utaite (particularly doing covers of #Vocaloid music,) games, and technology. Unfortunately I've been falling out of anime these days (harder and harder to get into things for me) and don't watch much anymore. I'm also a very slight bit of an audiophile (but limited budgets make it hard to be much of one.)

Please do not autofollow just because you saw a post of mine show up somewhere or something. Try at least speaking to me...

BTW I rarely ever click random links. Say what you want to say. Please.

@nprofile1q... I'm top of the list in saying that systemd needs to go, but let me ask you this: are any of the alternatives you're looking at doing anything differently either? If not, this seems like it's not a variable in this consideration.

Well, you can use systemd on there if you really really want to. They directly support it and all the instructions directly explain how to set each function up with systemd.

I still question that it's as big of a problem as you say though. I'm not the lucky one here... OpenRC is definitely not sysvinit.

Don't be confused by the distros that sort of hack in an old version of OpenRC but internally use sysvinit.

@nprofile1q... https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/OpenRC/openrc-init

Though honestly, I've found OpenRC with the default way it's configured a pleasure to use. I've had zero troubles with it and have had zero issues with configurations or etc.

I have 999 problems, but this isn't one of them.

@nprofile1q...

They'll have to move to the current kernel at some point.

Fair, but it will be a LTS kernel, not the current as-is. That still means a whole lot more stability than the potential hot mess 7.x is looking at atm.

(Actually, there is a serious irony that a lot of Gentoo is rolling, but the kernel is LTS.)

I'm also not impressed by the alternatives to systemd so far. C'mon guys, learn from what systemd did right, then throw out what systemd did wrong.

???????

What's wrong with OpenRC? I'm pretty sure it actually does just exactly that... It feels very much like systemd in regards to how it handles services and such and it even has a user mode. Are you thinking of sysvinit on some other distros that try to not use systemd?

Decades of unpleasant experience with Debian sysvinit has taught me the folly of such an approach. Systemd gets this right: services ...

In light of all the #Linux drama lately, I thought I'd glance at what are the #FreeBSD equivalents to the various software I use. Well, the network configuration story is very not good. You know how ...

@nprofile1q... I feel like you may want to take a look at Gentoo. I'm not going to say it's immune to any of this, but even the things that might get in there at least you can better bypass since it gives so much control to the user.

(I feel like I remember seeing some comment somewhere that they aren't into vibe coding and I can say that they are currently using the 6.18 LTS kernel as the main kernel, so it's not going to include the stuff going into the bleeding edge in the normal kernel at least.)

Devs please implement framerate limits on load screens so our GPUs don't scream at us and use 500 watts to show us a still image at 5000 FPS. :Sobbing: (Literally I can't think of any reason not to set load screens to like 1 FPS or something. They don't need the GPU to do any work show a still image!)

As a side note, I can't figure out why DXVK_FRAME_RATE=# and D3D9_FRAME_RATE=# aren't limiting the framerate in such cases. Are these not the right variables?
