it's great making a product for linux users because they have such a low baseline expectation for things working out-of-the-box and will go to great lengths to help you debug

Not sure what you mean there since I basically expect updating Ubuntu to nuke my whole system
-
Some of us don't even consider Ubuntu Linux...
-
Jokes aside, expectations on desktop-Linux ux from Ubuntu and the like are nothing like expectations on server, embedded, etc. setups where you control the whole integration.

or slackware where nothing works for long, ever...but at least they don't use systemd

hahahahaha I understand the hate for systemd, but honestly is it really that bad seems like it offers a lot of flexibility.
-
yes it really is that bad. it takes the linux philosophy of doing one thing and doing it really well and turns it into doing everything poorly.
-
I get that it ruins the Linux philosophy of chaining together lots of smaller functional parts, but what is it specifically that people find so frustrating about it? It seems to me like it makes a few things easier at no real performance cost. I'm not a Linux admin though.

It makes all sorts of new failure modes possible and changes lots of behavior in incompatible ways.

I worked on MPlayer project for like 5 years so I probably did...

Did you enjoy fixing drivers every few weeks? Cos I didn’t. It’s why I use a Mac these days.
-
I didn't have to because I didn't install the broken binaryware from nvidia.

I didn’t install that either. Linux managed to be an unreliable piece of shit all in it’s own. It makes a good server but has never been fit for end users.

Yep..I don't expect it to work out the box but once it's working I expect it to stay working forever
