Systemd: Hidden Gems for a Better Linux

Finally a systemd praise post after so many hateful remarks. I knew systemd could do dns resolving but just learned it could handle the entire network stack and replace NetworkManager. I have a question: How can services such as Apache adapt to both NM and systemd at the same time? NM and systemd have different wait-online services. You can also add systemd-analyze for boot time analysis to the list.

Here we go again

As a user of Linux and primarily FOSS software for 2 years, each time I recommended something FOSS, others had bad luck.

  • I tried switching someone to Linux but I couldn't achive %100 funnctionality on a Windows only app I set up via Wine. (it is an obscure program, not sth like Adobe or MS Office)
  • I recommended Kdenlive to a Mac user friend, he couldn't export a video he spent 30 hours on it.
  • I convinced someone to use Libreoffice but they lost data in only 30 mins because I forgot to tell that if you draw more than a few strokes in LO Draw it enters a save loop. This is fixed now thankfully.
  • I recommended VLC for DVD ripping, it entered some sort of loop and failed to export.

Each of the above examples involve completely different people, by the way.

  • I set up 2 fresh Windows installs for family but installed Firefox with strict protection and uBlock Origin instead of Chrome and... it worked?! They still use Firefox. Maybe the alpenglow theme is too good, I don't know.
