I don’t have the exact numbers with me right now but according to systemd-analyze

before: ~3min

after removing snapd and docker: 1min 50s

i’m not doubting anything after i heard they snapified kernel modules

the official slack package for linux is a snap. the flatpak one is not official and it has a number of issues, especially on wayland. luckly, there’s also a beta deb package available, so i’m using that

but i believe snap will only become less able to compete with flatpak as time passes

didn’t read the article, but i never got the point of having a distro-specific flathub repo. isn’t being distro-agnostic the main thing about flatpaks?

But something is bound to take Mozillas place

how can you be so sure?

cool article

which makes me wonder why there are people who still avoid systemd. i get that alpine can’t use glibc, but what about everyone else? i just see vague statements about systemd being “too big” or going “against unix philosophy”, but never concrete disadvantages of systemd compared to other pid-1s

edit: also, i wonder how viable would it be to port systemd to musl or whatever alpine uses so that they can take advantage of it
