An acquaintance from an old day job who does Linux admin hit me up because they wanted to whine about how hard it was to pick a distro these days.

They said, "I know SysV init and X11 are bad, but I keep hearing about problems with systemd and Wayland. Have you had any trouble with systemd or Wayland?"

I said, "I've been using OpenBSD. No systemd, no SysV init, no Wayland, and no bullshit. It's even got decent man pages. You should try it."

@catdad Suggested that. The acquaintance started whinging about how how Debian stable is always old and busted.

And I'm like, "That's how Debian rolls. Use testing instead if you're on a desktop rig and don't mind occasional breakage."

"But I'm running servers."

"Then WTF do you care about X11 vs Wayland? And if you're an admin, why don't you know about OpenRC? Tell you what: give me your boss' number so I can offer do do your job with less fucking drama."

@catdad There are reasons I don't talk to former coworkers.
