The diversity of Linux distributions is one of its strengths, but it can also be challenging for app and game development. Where do we need more standards? For example, package management, graphics APIs, or other aspects of the ecosystem? Would such increased standards encourage broader adoption of the Linux ecosystem by developers?

    Systemd is fine. This sounds like an old sysadmin who refuses to learn because “new thing bad” with zero logic to back it up.

      As a former sysadmin, there is plenty of logic in saying that. I have debugged countless systems that were using systemd, yet somehow the openrc ones just chug along. In the server space systemd is a travesty.

      In the desktop space however, i much prefer systemd. Dev environments as well. So yes thst is where “it’s fine”. More than fine, needed!

      I just hate this black and white view of the world, I cant stand it. Everything has its place, on servers you want as small a software footprint as possible, on desktop you want compatibility.
