I’ve been managing my containers using the older mechanism (systemd-generate) since I started and it’s great. You get the reliable service start of systemd and its management interface. Monitoring is consistent with all your other services and you have your logs in exactly one location.

I really wouldn’t want a separate interface or service manager just because I’m running containers.

You can still use the real uBlock Origin instead of the mediocre version Google allows

Manjaro does “stability” by delaying everything by two weeks. That doesn’t really help at all and might hurt you for security updates, because those will wait the same two weeks.

It uses the Arch repos directly though

Which ones? I’m not aware of any besides specialised distros like SteamOS

Or, you know, a simple installer from the dev’s website.

Will you protect them from police raids and cover their legal costs for running a Tor node?

And it’s quite likely they only have 10G locally, with way less bandwidth going to the outside.

They require a lot of driver work to get everything working. Many of their chips for example only support h264 hardware decoding at the moment, although they would be capable of h265 as well. Another example would be the PineTab 2, which now after a few years has working wifi and an alpha bluetooth driver. Yes, it’s always getting better, but very slowly and it might well take another few years until you can just run a mainline kernel with full hardware functionality.

And Wayland

I wonder when the year of people shut up about systemd will be

I meant what I wrote, but couldn’t think of a better way to word it 😅

I’m focusing more on the community building and advancing software parts of the work they did/do. Some products are in a pretty good state, but that’s not the case for others.

I don’t have concerns about shipping, more about the community building and support aspect of their products.

If you’re happy with a product’s current state then fine, but if not you’re pretty much on your own.

I wouldn’t; perfectly placed mistake?

Certainly feels like it and I personally wouldn’t buy anything from them at the moment.

Edit: would -> wouldn’t

Just installing applications is pretty easy though.

Something like that (untested)

It takes effort and knowledge to make good contributions, this app is just a tool to do that.

I can only say I myself try to make valuable contributions, some other people might care less.

I successfully used Every Door during my holidays to contribute

Please make sure to implement democracy first, we have enough issues with dictatorships and oligopolies already.

I’m not a kernel dev, but I’ve read often enough that there are some places where “everything is a file” somewhat breaks down on Unix. (I think /proc and some /dev)

For an “absolutely everything is a file” system have a look at plan9, it was the intended successor to Unix, but then that got popular while plan9 stayed a research project.
