Totally wrong.

If one desires to install an alternative init system on Fedora
it will be impossible.  The distro is locked into systemd
as are many others.  Choice does not exist.

Unless a distro specifically allows allows alternative options
for an init system and other systems, as do Gentoo and LFS,
then it is NOT a free distro in the spirit of FOSS.

Again: most distros are not free and violate FOSS principles.

Why is this so?

Because distro maintainers are wannabe gods and do not
want to work for the people but want to work only to glorify
their self-image.

Anyone can create a distro.  But creating a distro that maintains
freedom and allows choice is a great labor that few desire to
undertake.

The case is closed.

Systemd free.  D.E. free.

Exactly.

Linux runs my desktop and my servers. Its a bit like windows, only 
better, more stable, and cost nothing more than the effort of installing 
it .

I dont give a rats ass about whether its FOSS or not. I care that it 
works, it's as secure as the people who do pick over the source code can 
make it, and  well supported,  up to and including porting third party 
apps to it.

I got bored with the niceties of the moralities of software development 
sometime in the 1990s

I don't like you. There is nothing nice or good about Corporations or

JJ's response would be the "hmm, you don't think like me, therefore you 
must be _____" (pick your choice of "evil incarnate" for the blank).

Far too many recently have fallen into a trap of forgetting (or 
possibly never understanding in the first place) that different people 
can hold different opinions and it is not the end of the world.  I.e., 
some have forgotten to "agree to disagree".

It was a response in kind to the original post, and entirely justified.

prefer superstition to science.

Well in the end some people - due mainly to insecurity one supposes - 
move from purveyors of perspectives to Holders of the One True View.

Philosophy teaches one true fact, that there are no 'true' facts. There 
are only inductive propositions, whose truth content is indecidable.

The problem with socialism per se, is that it is comprised of such 
people. The tenets of Marxism and so called socialism are pronounced as 
truth, not as informative perspectives.

It's as bad as science, which at least has the excuse that its 
propositions are demonstrably not-false....yet anyway.

PEOPLE !!! What's going on here ???

There IS NO "best" Linux distro. What's "best" depends
ENTIRELY on what YOU plan to DO with it.

And there's also all the BSDs too ... resurrected
Amiga-OS, Plan-9, DOS, CP/M, emulated C-64s, OS-9...
it's ALL out there.

What do YOU want to do with it ?

My office PC has long been vanilla Debian, but I put
UServer on my servers, I *like* OpenSuse, my notebooks
are MX Linux, my favorite VM is Manjaro right now but
I spent a day and a half making FreeBSD run in Virtualbox
with XFCE and LXDE. It JUST DEPENDS. "Best" is a total
illusion.

OK ... DO note NONE of the abovementioned included
Winders ... while there may not be a "best" there
may indeed be a "WORST"  :-)

Well, SOMEWHERE, I have a Winders 1.0 floppy ....
I even have a BYTE Magazine issue that reviews
it ! (clue, C64/128 windowing systems were BETTER
at the time).

I stick with one distro - Mint - because after messing around with many 
others, that proved optimal for *my desktop needs.
It also runs on my local server. There is no need, but i am used to its 
foibles, and I likewise have Ubuntu on my main vps.
Its popular and well supported.

I haven't got time to be fannying around learning a hundred different 
arrangements of this or that

Oh, you must be new in these parts :-D

F Russell is one of the local trolls, a fanatic. Linux has to be his way 
or it is evil. Systemd is evil. He likes a linux with basically no 
services, no init system, tailored solely for him. What the 
distributions do, a system that works as is for many people is evil. 
Linux for the masses is evil, it has to be for hackers only and must be 
difficult to use.

He is impossible.

Ah, and he hates personally the people that don't agree with him.

He now and then posts something like that here, and sets the follow up 
to the advocacy group, to have a heated mad discussion there, I suppose.
