Eh I think its fine. Its just

clean hair --condition

or

clean body --moisturize

And its not like literally any cleaning product on the market isn't just a wrapper around libclean anyway

Edit: libclean is deprecated, now its all either libsoap or its newer fork libpid

That’s true, but neither of those options are POSIX-compliant. You have to set POSIX_ME_SLIMY for clean to also condition.

Exactly.

Shampoo is supposed to remove dirt and grease from your hair. Conditioner is supposed to replace the necessary oils your hair needs to have. ... Which need to be replaced because the shampoo just washed them all away. In order to make a 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner, they have to make a significant compromise, producing a shampoo that doesn't wash all the grime out and a conditioner that doesn't stay and replenish as well as a standalone one would. So you get both in one bottle ... but a shitty version of both. Using separate products will work much better. Even the cheapest shampoo and cheapest conditioner out there, used individually, will easily outperform even the fanciest combination.

Oh, and while we're here... That thing on the bottle that says 'lather, rinse, repeat'? It's not just for fun, and not just because they want you to use more shampoo. It actually does work noticeably better if you do it twice in a row.

I am following your logic, but as someone who's been using a 2 in 1 for like a decade, I can tell you everyones hair needs are different. I've used them separately as well and it really does not make a difference for me.

Even the cheapest shampoo and cheapest conditioner out there, used individually, will easily outperform even the fanciest combination.

But I really take offence to this line, absolutely not true. The cheapest shampoo will dry up/irritate your scalp, the cheapest conditioner will make your hair feel like an oil spill.

Which means conditioner is irrelevant for anyone without long hair

I have really long hair and another benefit of doing them separately is, it's easiest to brush it right after applying conditioner, and harder when it has shampoo in it. So there's that on top of really needing the conditioner to work well.

Shampoo: Remove oils and thereby remove dirt attached to oils. Conditioner: Restore oils to your hair.

2-in-1: Restore oils while also removing oils?

Or:

shampoo -> /bin/busybox

conditioner -> /bin/busybox

I find it funny that systemd gets so much hate for trying to be all the things, but haven't seen the same criticism directed at busybox

To be fair, busybox is doing it for the purpose of making it easy to setup a very small and simple fully functional OS. Systemd is doing it for the purpose of ???????

Just wait for systemd-kernel, systemd-desktop, systemd-webbrowser, et cetera. You know it's coming.

Þere's no such þing. systemd-clean includes

  • sytemd-bodywash
  • systemd-shampoo
  • systemd-conditioner
  • systemd-shower
  • systemd-house

and þey're all interdependent. Someone once tried to decouple systemd-shampoo but it was so much effort þey hard-forked it. Þe only þing it doesn't include (yet) is yard.

And it looks like þis!

Unix principals include Dennis Ritchie, Ken Thompson, and Brian Kernighan

Unix principles include tools that do one thing and do it well, casting directories and sockets as file abstractions, and clean separation between kernel and userspace modes.

suckless shampoo: you have to build it yourself. want no tears? that's a patch. smell like coconut? patch. you forgot to add the coconut smell to the config so it's not gonna build, try again.

Whatever its shortcomings, it surely must be better than Microslop's Coshampoo. Who the heck wants an attendant watching you shower?!

I oft co-wash my hair (washing the hair only with conditioner instead of shampoo).

I prefer the gnu 2-in-1, in order to have a different implementation to the BSD version they optimised for speed over space.

That's the last generation of linux users. The transfem revolution is focused on making linux smell good again
