"Stay on topic. Sometimes threads morph into something completely off topic, this is unavoidable when a bunch of people communicate. However, try to limit the off topic discussions to the off topic category. Long off topic discussions in other categories might get moved or locked.
Discussions in "Off topic" should still be in the spirit of this board, that is related to Linux/ Computers/ Software etc. Political, religious or racial discussions do not belong on this board."
What do you think Moderators are here for? Should we all just pack up and go away and let you get on with it?

The topic had become terribly one sided, biased and had outlived its usefulness. Even though it is "Offtopic". The last post in the topic pointed out that there is a comprehensive list on the Devuan website. Job done. Go there for information.

Here's a guess . . . mods are allergic to a mention of Devuan (which is now in beta without systemd)

I have just discovered Devuan's website neatly presents a list of OSs without systemd. Click here to view and scroll down to view the heading GNU/Linux Distributions without systemd.
A longer list of distros using systemd does not prove anything except that when the herd starts jumping over the cliff many will follow.arochester wrote:Does anyone want to write a topic listing distros that DO use systemd? It will be considerably longer than the list of distros that DO NOT use systemd - and of course it will include Debian.

If you believe that I have been unfair please contact an Administrator and make a case to have me removed as a Moderator.

Does anyone want to write a topic, in "Offtopic", explaining fully how Ubuntu is wonderful and we should all use it?
Eric de Bono in his Thinking Tools has an exercise called PMI. People have to complete three columns and write down everything that is P-Positive, M-Minus and I-Interesting (neither positive nor negative). The anti-systemd lobby seem intent on telling us everything that they think is wrong with systemd and nothing that is right.
(Spot the signature that says "Running systemd free on Dragora GNU/linux-libre..." Pro or anti? )
"something that is expected of this forum". Unfettered ability to say whatever you want? Is that what EVERYBODY wants? Even the spammers?
