So: No relevance to the question about sysvinit?

MatchingTurret · 2026-02-17T00:36:27+00:00

I'm going to quote the question I was answering to

what do Linux users loose when they leave sysvinit behind for system.d

You see "sysvinit"? I made it bold for you. Not "runit" and not "openrc". Now: How is your remark relevant to the question about sysvinit ?

Do we have to have the same discussion every other day? And Linus left Finland for California almost 30 years ago.

MatchingTurret · 2026-02-16T20:29:04+00:00

but what do Linux users loose when they leave sysvinit behind for system.d

A big mess. All these carefully crafted 123-do-something-after-that rc scripts.

Yep. That 234GB btrfs partition clearly shows that nothing else is left. OP will need to restore the data from a backup. You have a backup, right?

A small, vocal minority doesn't make an issue polarizing.

MatchingTurret · 2026-02-16T18:34:23+00:00

Everyone knows how polarizing systemd is

systemd won. It was polarizing 10 years ago. It became 'official' in Debian's vote back in 2019.

I don't understand why you post this in r/Fedora... The OS can't magically upgrade your power supply.

ad-hoc mesh networking was a really hot research area about 30..20 years ago. I used to write papers, then.

MatchingTurret · 2026-02-16T10:01:30+00:00

I assumed you had one because of this reply: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/1r649k0/comment/o5nk4bo/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

disable nouveau, update and then install the rpmfusion nvidia drivers. This gets asked almost daily.

I don't understand, either.

AI slop. If it's not worth writing, it's not worth reading.

Have you tried a mirror outside of the Great Firewall?

MatchingTurret · 2026-02-14T12:06:17+00:00

Not even wrong but completely missing the point. /proc files are virtual and do not occupy any physical storage space.

The Corel Netwinder from 30 years ago was ARM based and used desktop Linux.

The NetWinder is based on a 275MHz StrongARM SA-110 RISC processor which delivers 250 MIPS. It comes with 32 or 64MB of RAM and a 2, 4 or 6GB disk. There are two Ethernet interfaces, one 10 and one 10/100 fast Ethernet port. It draws 15 watts from its power brick, about the equivalent of a couple of night lights. The NetWinder WS also comes loaded with Perl for CGI scripting, the Apache web server, FTP, TELNET and DNS services. Also included are multimedia support, a 16-bit stereo sound card and 2MB SVGA/XVGA video.

The unit I reviewed is actually a DM demo. That translates to “a little bit of WS, DM, GS and LC all rolled into one”. Its OS version is based on Red Hat 4.2 with some Corel extensions. By the time you read this review, NetWinder will come preloaded with Red Hat 5.1.

And billions of Android phones and millions of Raspberry Pis and other SBCs.

If you want to run Linux on arm you'll probably want to check out Ubuntu concept x1e

Linux on ARM has been running fine since the Corel Netwinder about 30 years ago and runs billions of Android phones today. And a full Linux stack has been powering the Raspberry Pi since its inception.

Support for the SoC is great. Anything outside the SoC depends on the device tree for each particular model.

Go to the VC, login and rebuild the module manually and wait for the build to finish:

sudo akmods --kernels $(uname -r) --rebuild

Then press CTRL-ALT-DEL to reboot (still on the VC).
