Debian Developers Take To Voting Over Init System Diversity

https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Debian-Init-Diversity-Vote

After public comments, the eight options for voting by Debian developers include:
Choice 1: F: Focus on systemd
Choice 2: B: Systemd but we support exploring alternatives
Choice 3: A: Support for multiple init systems is Important
Choice 4: D: Support non-systemd systems, without blocking progress
Choice 5: H: Support portability, without blocking progress
Choice 6: E: Support for multiple init systems is Required
Choice 7: G: Support portability and multiple implementations
Choice 8: Further Discussion

Apparently Debian isn't exactly known for being fast when it comes to making changes or decisions...

It's alright though - 2020 will be the year of Linux on the desktop :D


If the developers spent as much time on improving the user experience as they do on the technical side, then Linux genuinely would have had more adoption by now imo

The Gnome developer is funny because he wanted 10% of the market yet solves Gnome issues like desktop shortcuts by removing functions and deleting code. :)

Unlikely, to many options on linux due to the vast amount of GUI's ect that you can have/use.

Don't mean distro choices as all can either look the same or completely different irrespective of original distro.

If you see what I'm getting at.

Pretty surprised how quickly this happened considering the arguments systemd caused and all the people that left for Devuan.
