Yeah, CachyOS has been working just fine for me. And while both of those points raise an eyebrow for me, I have also heard things about the Cachy team that do the same. Perfect can’t be the enemy of good enough. Though to that second point you raised, I just watched a [Veritasium?] video recently on how just such a system-level package was very nearly compromised by what has all the hallmarks of a malicious state actor precisely because it was so seemingly innocuous and open.

I appreciate the clear and concise explanation. Cheers, friend.

What’s the issue with systemd?

I was shy about Linux for far too long, but have jumped in with both feet recently.

For people complaining this is internal news, I should think the leader of any “democratic” nation offering to openly bribe the populace to stay in power - amidst an illegal war - would be something to pay attention to. Just like German internal politics getting weird and making world news.

I understand the overall anti-American sentiment and can’t say I’m upset with anyone for feeling that way given how my government has handled itself internationally. However, this one is a big deal. Change the names to a British or German or French PM and party and suddenly it’s appropriate again?

My point being some things will have external repercussions despite being internal debates - Brexit being an example of an internal debate with global consequences. Or, y’know, Trump being elected. Again.

You and I might not have the mental and emotional bandwidth for “yet another crisis,” but there are real people living harsh realities everywhere. Minimizing any of them makes you little better than any Zionist crying about the rocks Palestinian kids throw over the walls of the West Bank.

Classic case of if you’ve nothing nice to say, nicer to say nothing.
