  • This is what Gentoo needed. I’ve been using it for a long time and love it as it is but sometimes when there’s a bunch of slot conflicts or a compile error it makes me wish I just dealt with binaries instead. Now that we have the best of both worlds, it will make Gentoo appeal to a wider userbase and make it less painful to use on older hardware.

    I have been pretty comfortable here because I’m into nerdy things and most of us here are nerds. In fact, the only people that cared about reddit locking down the API were nerds or people jumping on the bandwagon because it was the next big thing. Others didn’t care and just wanted reddit back and a lot of people that were here in the beginning went back to reddit. We will probably grow overtime but there’s no point in wondering why lemmy isn’t more popular, just participate in the communities you like.

    “consumer-grade”

    Yeah, that’s the point. Again, the average user (as in desktop user) gains nothing from using a different init. There may have been some crazy server-side scenario where the type of init you used actually mattered but we’re talking about desktop Linux, which the answer is a clear-cut no. I’m not stopping the people that are interested in trying a different init out, I’m just telling them that there’s little to no benefit in the end if they’re expecting an improvement in performance or whatever else.
