My first experience of systemd was on Arch, I think when it was replacing trad init around fall 2012. I kept up with the technical gossip, if not the real low-level arguments (didn't know enough) but I liked the things it was sold on: It was neat, tidy, and seductively fast, and it was (in a desktop scenario) completely reliable.
SSDs are now widespread, everything is faster at the storage level, and yet it all just seems so slow. It's all got so heavy.
@sullybiker You can set an external image viewer for Mutt. Same for any other file type. It’s pretty easy.
For images, I recommend feh. Very lightweight, no bloat.
@djsumdog Yes it's not bad at all. I like runit and the fact they are trying to avoid legacy bloat with things like offering MUSL. It's a good project.
@djsumdog Holy shit the politics though. They have more drama than Days of our lives.
@djsumdog I know Void had all the drama with the lead dev, then their Wiki takeover, and recently the IRC channel. It's all the problems of a small loose organization.
I'm finding myself increasingly reactionary. Hating all the new stuff, because it's just all shit you don't need.
