    While I disagree with the basis of the comic, I love that you made it. Keep it up. Open source art is always super cool.

        You raise a valid point. Perhaps “art about open source subjects” might be more technically accurate.

        In either case it’s welcome.

        I guess I could upload the kra files (there are four of them since I made each panel separately, exported them to png and arranged them a fourth krita doc). Tho if I did that, would it even count as open source? A .kra file isn’t really a source code, it’s an archive that contains binaries.

          Maybe licensing the art under some sort of Creative Commons Share alike license might serve your purpose? This being said I 100% get artists keeping full rights to their art. If you do that there is nothing wrong with that either.

    I’m out of the loop. How does Carmen Sandiego fit into the whole init system debacle?

    Let us all remember that, at least back when it started, the establishment alternative to systemd was a product named after its original operating system, System V UNIX, which is a direct descendent of the original UNIX from AT&T. This sysvinit software used complicated shell scripts to manage daemons. Contrary to some opinions, these shell scripts were not “just working”; they were in fact a constant and major maintenance burden for Linux distributions. When I started on Linux at least, Debian had a suspiciously large fraction of bugs on init script breakages.

    All this is to say that the new system, systemd, doesn’t have to be anywhere near perfect to be worth replacing sysvinit.

    People argue that systemd is rejecting the “UNIX philosophy” of small tools that do one thing well. I argue that this UNIX philosophy is not some kind of universal good with no tradeoffs. It’s an engineering rule of thumb. There are always tradeoffs.

    People argue that systemd is too much like Windows NT. I argue that Windows NT has at least a few good ideas in it. And if one of those ideas solves a problem that Linux has, Linux should use that idea.

      It’s actually closer to how macOS init system launchd works anyway, not the Windows version. MacOS is arguably closer to true Unix than Linux is anyway, so I don’t think the Unix argument is a good one to use anyway.
