I love Rust. Although I agree with everything else, I would definitely not say “same amount of effort”.

I used to be Slackware user. Then I sold my soul to RedHat, then to Debian…

I just installed Slackware after reading your message to see what is new, here are my findings:

• There is still no auto install. I had to manually configure a lot of things using a terminal based fdisk and setup.

• The default package manager, pkgtool, does not have a default way to auto install packages from web (something like yum, apt, up2date). It only installs from your own HDD.

• The other tool for managing packages, slackpkg, was not installed on my system by default.

• The default configuration for X and KDE has problems on my system. I can see the mouse move then nothing.

I can understand why somebody would like to play around with this kind of system as a fun/entertainment/puzzle solving in their free time. On the other hand, if you plan to run some kind of microservices architecture on this, then I wish you best of luck finding a new job once you are fired.

Come to the Debian side, it’s all unicorns and rainbows here 🥳🦄

Same here… I like it a lot.

The worst case of this I heard was a crypto developer that lost 300k$ of clients money when he accidentally pushed some crypto keys to GitHub public repository. Last I heard he was getting sued.

If you don’t mind me asking, why do you not like systemd? I like it a lot and in my humble opinion it makes life really easy.
