And yet only one of them gets flogged in the media

I have hard time believing the stats in the picture.

So around 3.5% of all the hybrids eventually die in fire? Really? That number seems like it's way too high.

I know EVs are safer in this regard, but I just can't believe hybrids and gasoline cars being that bad. Do we have a source for this information?

P.S. The photos seem to be AI generated FWIW...

I wonder what new does this bring into the table?

I mean we already have at least these in addition to systemd:

  • OpenRC + openrc-init
  • s6 + s6-rc
  • runit
  • Epoch
  • dinit
  • minit
  • GNU Shepherd
  • finit

The state being stored in RAM seems like a nifty feature. I like it.

Very quickly glanced... I think it lacks service supervision and user services. Although user services are missing in many others too. Except it looks like users can run Nitro by themselves (autostart via cron @boot maybe?). Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

Anyway, more choices leads to more ideas being implemented. 👍

I successfully installed Gentoo for the first time today!

My first Gentoo install took like a week to get X running. It was my first foray into Linux (Ok, I briefly tried mkLinux).

I learnt the hard way, but I learnt. And I'm still on that same path: Gentoo. Why I don't bother switching? Because I can customize Gentoo to whatever I like, so instead of doing distro hop I just reconfigure things.

Because systemd replaced too many important components users still wanted to keep using... and politics. Not many people like Lennart (the guy who started the project). Politics ruin everything.

For me the breaking point was systemd-journald. Corrupted journal when you desperatedly needed to know what went wrong was too much. Last time I gave systemd a try was several years ago... Something like 5 to 7 years, so things might have changed a lot.

Also I'm in the minority here. I like to custom my system components too. systemd just doesn't fit there. Also I administrate one lightweight, low power box, which uses musl libc. Last time I checked systemd needed glibc.

Enough ramblings. Here's some reading for you... note that there's most probably very biased technical writings here and there, so use common sense and verify the claims if you want the real truth. Then judge yourself, don't let anyone else judge for you.
