I also don’t have an issue per se with rhel, but the old rear end packages, combined with having to decipher if x is ported back to the old rear end kernel make it have more friction then I want. Otherwise I really don’t care about base OS, like right now my servers are all running a derivative of chromium and managed as pets by kubernetes. Running on cents/rhel would be a lot more frustrating.

My real root issues are that places that run rhel tend to be really backwards places with ideas that the industry is moving past that don’t have skills so they think their red hat contract will cover them, or windows places with a token Linux box that only knows the world of support contracts. Its a bad omen to see it really, because it tells me I am in for a bad time.

Also red hats kubernetes poo poo is so wonky and deviates so far from what everyone else is doing that I don’t know what the hell they are thinking.

was excited to find out at work yesterday that nvidia's linux driver still comes as a binary blob that asks you to close X before it will install, same as it did last time i installed linux on the desktop in 2012

turned out it'd already been installed for me, so i didn't see whether standard procedure was still to go through the whole thing twice before anything would work

if you got an intel graphics in your system and can use hybrid graphics mode then you can install the nvidia drivers without the gl hooks and use the nvidia card for cuda poo poo and leave graphics poo poo to the intel thing

good news for btrfs fans, libbtrfsutil

https://mail-archive.com/linux-btrfs@vger.kernel.org/msg72924.html

lgpl licensed library in c with python bindings for doing btrfs stuff, so you don't have to parse /usr/sbin/btrfs output anymore

and wayland will eventually work fine

still hope that the pipewire dudes will come to their senses and integrate their stuff with pulseaudio properly instead of reinventing the wheel for the 20th time, but since this is open source i guess that'll never happen

(if i'm right then pipewire is a doomed project. pulseaudio actually works now and all new things has been written with it in mind for quite a while now)

(and yes, i see the irony by mentioning wayland in the same post, but they at least try to make all the X stuff work through Xwayland)

no, it's a standalone service manager (and a tiny init system) based on daemontools - more like a replacement for systemd that does a lot less stuff

Systemd is totally fine and maybe even good on the desktop, but it sucks poo poo balls for use on a cheap ARMv7 running a Yocto build. Plus my coworkers are crusty graybeards who think sysvinit is fine and just dump everything into a single rcS script attached to a single runlevel

I'm thinking of pitching the 'service manager' concept for our next major product, and runit seemed like it might be greybeard-approvable. But I wanted to figure out what would be in store for me

yocto supports systemd. there is nothing special about your armv7 that makes it a bad target for systemd

the problem is you and your coworkers, not systemd

all of the other smug greybeards who hate systemd are wrong, but my project is special because it runs on like a 100 MHz ARM chip with tens of megabytes of ram

it's embedded, you see

bash scripts are just more efficient, they're close to the metal

seriously you just made the argument that bash scripts are better on an embedded system

we need to use bash for init because the language that literally forks a process to evaluate an if statement is somehow a better fit on a smaller system wait what *hangs self*

All of my embedded Linux projects run systemd. In fact, I got systemd v236 ported to Buildroot (systemd converted to meson after 234, so meson + ninja + the systemd package had to be ported over).

If you aren't running systemd on embedded Linux in 2018, you are doing embedded Linux wrong.
