[DNG] Not installing files to /boot Debian discussion

Hi! Not installing files to /boot https://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2022/09/msg00062.html I hope this will be rejected by Debian community. EFI has a partition already, why then use FAT filesystem for /boot is beyond me. Especially as EFI should be replaced by something sane anyway.

[DNG] Another problem you won't have without Systemd (or separate oomd)

Hi! You cannot make this up, can you? Bug 2119518 - GNOME being OOM killed during basic use on VM with 2G of RAM https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2119518 It still seems to be that people think adding complexity comes without risk of malfunction. oomd may make sense in certain

[DNG] Lennart now working for Microsoft

Hi! How come that I am not surprised? I said it back then already that Systemd adoption followed a similar pattern to Microsoft's "embrace, extend, and extinguish" tactics. (They are still following the very same pattern, this time with Office 365.) Well… I won't miss him. I hope he stops
