Mistaking precisely documented Wiki for silence… Do you Mark All As Read your email each day, too? ;)

You have the systemd haters to thank for this one. They have wasted so much time talking shiz about a system they did not want to understand and downvoting folks posting about stuff they use. Next time you find something else useful in systemd and wonder “How come nobody told me?”, know that we tried and got drowned out by the cool kids.
I understand the concerns about blobbification of all these system into a technical monolith that you have to swallow whole or not at all, that you can’t really break down into it’s individual components. So if the thing you need isn’t in there, you have to chuck the entire systemd thing and switch back to SysV
However, I quite like systemd so far… except for having dozens of processes, that’s not super chill to have so much stuff I don’t use running but OK, convenient.
At least it’s not like Wayland, that we have been forced into while it was barely working, and still today it’s only kinda working with lot lot lots of non-working stuff and mega jank stuff while now X11 is rotting and dying. So we’re stuck with half-dead half-lobotomized graphics system… I hope they eventually get their shit together and I wish they would have made wayland working before killing X11.
And Linux has quite some pragmatic people as well, first of all Linus Torvalds himself, who has kind of a down-to-earth approach towards ideology.
I’ve not yet talked to a SystemD hater in real life, that seems to be more predominant between random people on the internet. And I myself prefer writing SystemD unit files over what I had to do before that was a thing.
Most people also don’t talk about init systems in real life.
I have, though, I was asked my opinion on systemd during a job interview. The interviewer didn’t give much of their own opinion but it was obvious.
Yeah, I interviewed for a job that required a lot of Systemd work. I crushed the practicum super hard and my genius new boss teached numa pessimization for DB load (bit if a click bait start but she hashed it out perfectly and it will come up again) before I declined on rates.
It’s not that it’s hard work. It’s that Systemd is a bad tool; and we deserve the day of crying wreckage it will gleefully cause one day.
They have wasted so much time talking shiz about a system they did not want to understand
You write “engineers with decades of skill pointing out obvious and blatant fundamental problems with the design and scope that first-year comp sci students would be corrected for” weird. It may require experience to spot the difference, though.
Ah. There you are, old friend. I’ve been expecting you.

At least the Arch Wiki is always there for us…
I mean, in the Linux terminal you can literally do anything a computer can do. You can play with your PC speaker with
beep, dim your screen withbrightnessctl, etc. Why would you assume there wasn’t a command for suspending? :PYou can also use
rtcwakeand program the PC to come back from suspension automatically at a certain time… I used to set up my small laptop with music to wake up with it as a morning alarm.I didn’t assume anything, I simply just didn’t even think about power states when using the laptop.
Welcome to Linux
#blessed by a chance to learn something on the aw 🙏
But it supossed to work when u closing ur lid of laptop
Who closes their laptop?
Edit for clarity: /jPeople who carry it around and don’t just use it as a desktop replacement… With an open lid it doesn’t quite fit into my bag pack.
Skill issue
<whispering> Me too…
