Oh, sorry for the late answer. I use a mobile client without notifications. ^^ From your other answer it seems you probably already know more than I do. ;)

Afaik they have their own repos but because of there being fewer people working on it, they often drop packages with systemd dependence instead of patching them, correct?

Oh, I tried Debian several times and it’s so much harder than CachyOS, especially concerning package availability. If Debian gave me headaches, Devuan will not be better, right? ^^

It’s definitely a me issue, but just to elaborate: A lot of stuff that’s in the CachyOS standard repos isn’t even available in Debian’s repos (and therefore probably the same is true for Devuan), so you have to add additional repos or compile from source (examples I ran into: julia programming language, Niri window manager, Noctalia “shell” (in the sense of a graphical desktop environment, it’s not a terminal emulator)). Don’t get me wrong, I can of course follow guides to get things done or settle for another software… But when I follow guides to force non-available software into Debian, I often have the feeling that I risk breaking things in the long term (e.g., how should I do updates of the stuff I compiled from source?) because I don’t really know that much about the system. Right now, sadly, I don’t have the energy to learn all of that. :'(

Absolutely. I was also thinking about trying a non-systemd distro. But I fear I’m not yet ready to hop into a system that I have to configure myself from the bottom up. If there was a well-configured “out-of-the-box” distro like Mint or CachyOS based on Devuan, Artix or Void, that would be so great.

That’s why I told you. :) Sorry that it won’t help you because of systemd dependence.

Oh shit, didn’t know that, thanks. :(

But it turns out that SDDM, the QT based login manager that’s meant to use with KDE

SDDM is Plasma’s “old” login manager. They phased it out in favor of the new Plasma login manager a few months ago. I don’t know how recent Void’s packages are, but I think I remember it being a rolling release, right? On CachyOS the switch was a few months ago.

The report is linked in the article. It’s an annual report of the Secretary General to the Security Council.

Huge parts of the center left (SPD and Greens) and even a sizeable portion of the democratic socialists (Die Linke) share the same views on Israel/Palestine as the conservatives. :'(

Maybe you should read that post before commenting. It’s anti-AnCap at its heart.

I’m neither. You’re the misinformed one here, and the people who downvoted me as well. Go to the link you provided.

• click the link to the article for Ahmed Al-Sharaa
• click the link to the article for Al-Nusra Front
• see “part of” section in the overview: Al-Qaeda

Yes, they split several years ago. Insofar I have exaggerated. Are they substantially better in terms of authorianism and religious fundamentalism? I seriously doubt it.

Correct, it’s the other big islamist group, al-Qaeda.

Yeah, if the perpetrator is the IDF, don’t expect to see mention of neither this being a war crime nor who is responsible.

A few years ago, they tried justifying shit like that with the “human shields” propaganda, now they simply hope that no one will notice.

Yeah, I’ve read that discussion a few days ago. That specific post seemed reasonable, but that was a comment from outside the core systemd team, wasn’t it? As far as I understood all of this, different people took the decision to merge, without coordinating their efforts with those of the corporate linux distros (Pop!, Ubuntu, Red Hat/Fedora, (Open)SUSE).

That’s the question: would they fight it? From all I’ve seen so far, they wouldn’t.

You won’t listen anyway. Just look at your language, calling us idiots and fuckwits while pretending you’re the level-headed one.

There’s enough comments under just this meme and every single discussion on this topic explaining why that change is a direct attack on privacy and privacy being the reason why many of us chose Linux.

I don’t like that electron was used for it because it needs unreasonable amounts of ressources, but Heroic Launcher certainly is easier to use than Lutris…
