The traditional init systems suited me just fine, i saw no need to change them. If they were so bad, then they could’ve been fixed or replaced.
The migration to systemd felt forced. Debian surprised everyone with the change. Also systemd’s development is/was backed by corporate Red Hat, their lead developer wasn’t exactly loved either and is now working for Microsoft. Of course Canonical’s Ubuntu adopted it as well. Overall feels like Windows’ svchost.exe, hence people accusing it of vendor lock-in.
It’s not just an init system, it’s way waaay more. It’s supposed to be modular, but good luck keeping only its PID1 in a distro that supports systemd. It breaks the “do one thing right” approach and, in practice, does take away choice which pisses me off.
I had been using Debian since Woody, but that make me change to Gentoo on my desktop which, to me, took the best path: they default to OpenRC but you’re free to use systemd if you want to. That’s choice. For servers i now prefer Slackware and the laptop runs Devuan whenever i boot it up.
To be fair systemd hasn’t shown its ugly face in the Ubuntu VMs i’m forced to use at work.
YMMV. If you’re happy with it, fine. This, of course, is only my opinion.
I did the same a few months ago and was extremely nervous. I have a 4 node cluster running 30 VMs in production. After migrating the VMS off of one node I quickly realized what a pleasure it was to do it. No muss no fuss. Migrated the VMs back and continued on with the other 3.
That’s pretty cool that it worked so well. Does migrating the VM’s result in any downtime or is it a seamless cross over?
I waited a few days before upgrading as I wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to get stung by any teething troubles. Would have ideally waited longer but had an ideal few hours available to do it without the family being annoyed by any downtime.
I use a Plantronics headset. Sound quality is important to me, so I decided to try hardware from a company that specializes in voice comms. I found one on sale for a little more than the cost of two movie tickets.
I’m happy with my choice. My headset is smaller and lighter than any “gaming” headset I’ve ever seen, and strangers regularly compliment my mic clarity when I play team shooters online.
In case you want to try something similar, Jabra is another brand in that space.
I originally used Jerboa. It was okay, but not quite what I was looking for. I've tried Connect and Liftoff and like those better. I'm waiting for Sync, as that was my Reddit app of choice.
So far I’ve tried Jerboa, liftoff and wefwef. Being a RIF user for many years I feel Jerboa is closest to the UX but I am more comfortable with wefwef. Ask me again tomorrow as I will probably try other alternatives. This is like the good ole Linux distro hopping days when I tried over 30 distros before settling with KDE neon for the last 3 years.
I worked at a gas station about 20 years ago, so things may have changed since then. When our pumps started running slow, it was almost always due to the pump filters nearing their end of life. They would get clogged with the minerals and sediments in the tank.
