I do get upset where after a huge update Windows shows 'Do not turn the 
machine off. Updating' for minutes. Finally you get a login screen which 
brings you to 'Getting things ready for you' for several more minutes.

Ah, the good old days... My Fedora box had almost 4 days of uptime before 
'dnf needs-restarting' said it need to reboot for the latest kernel and 
systemd.  Even stodgy old Mint is getting a new kernel. I don't update 
that one as frequently so it's up to 18 days 9 minutes. At least Leap only 
got a new Python today.

I suppose I could ignore the updates but in my experience that way can 
lead to disaster when you finally do try.

I do agree that with everything up 24/7 unless I'm doing updates a cold 
reboot isn't a problem for me.

   The "updates" usually aren't much.

   EXCEPT perhaps browsers ... the Bad Guys are
   constantly trying to infiltrate browsers. It's
   an ongoing war, kinda in the literal sense.

Maybe. Fedora just got another kernel after a massive 9 hours of uptime. 
Important to me? Probably not. Do I want to skip 10 kernels before 
updating? No.

If I get another kernel that fast, it is because there was an error when 
making the previous one. I usually get about one a month.

Leap 16 uses the 6.12 LTS from November 2024. Fedora is at 7.1.5. It 
probably makes no difference to me but so it goes. For example 6.19 
included improvements for btrfs. Both my Leap and Fedora boxes use btrfs 
but I haven't noticed a difference. 

Leap 16 is Python 3.13. In October it will only receive security fixes. 
Fedora 45 is scheduled to move to 3.15 in October when it is released. I 
expect there will be more fixes. 

Plasma on Fedora is 6.7.2, 6.4.3 on Leap, and so forth.

Part of the decision making when selecting a distribution is how up to 
date you want to be. Fedora is semi-rolling and has fewer surprises than a 
rolling release like Arch or Tumbleweed while staying close to the newest 
versions. Leap is downstream of SLED and arguably is more stable. Ubuntu 
sort of splits the difference. 26.04's kernel is 7,0, which would have 
been 6.20 except Torvalds ran out of fingers and toes. It's a LTS release 
so while it has Python 3.14 I don't expect it will ever get 3.15. Ubuntu 
derivatives like Mint are a mixed bag. Mint's kernel is 6.17, its Python 
is 3.12. Newer kernel than Leap, older Python. I'm using those as 
indicators. systemd is 259 on Fedora and Ubuntu, 257 on Leap, etc.

The nice thing about Linux is you get to pick your poison.

Never have any problems with Arch Linux for a decade, the only one THE 
VERY BIG THING was systemd introducing. This cause "little" pain, mostly 
with bad rc scripts conversion to systemd units and overall third party 
software hickups with systemd. And that's it. All other things was 
purely third party software bugs and AUR maintainer fuckups :).

Just subscribe to Arch news (e.g. via RSS) and read them before 
updating. All neccessary manual actions will be there. And try to update 
your system at least once per week (I do it on saturdays with morning 
coffee).

Actually, I was surprised how systemd was made so good comparing to 
another software from same author - PulseAudio :).

It’s the only service manager I know of that also works for user
sessions, not just for systemwide services.

And that goes for its log handling, too.

Well, MacOS kept syslogd separate.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the idea for systemd
came from MacOS's launchd.

BTW: Whenever someone posts their reminiscences of all the trouble
they had with printing on Linux, I point out that nowadays,
Linux printing is as easy as on MacOS -- thanks to CUPS.

I'll admit I was amazed when I plugged an old Samsung CLP-375 in and it 
just worked. I have a fraught relationship with printers that goes back to 
the '80s.  

I'm amused by my dentist. She has two printers and trying to get either 
one to print a receipt is an adventure. I've told her the receipt 
ultimately goes in the trash and I don't need it for anything but she 
insists. She has mastered the technique of 'if it doesn't work, hit it 
harder'.

   Linix printing HAS improved, considerably, over
   the past five years or so. NOW it usually "Just
   Works". Yay !

   Still couldn't get LibreOffice Writer to properly
   print a damned envelope though ... "good enough
   for the USPS" by abusing margins, but not ideal.

   Heh ... I made the "mistake" of mentioning to
   someone in my dental office about how it was
   going with their Great New Biz System. The
   response was something like SHOCK.

   Some glib salesman had sold them on their Great
   New Better System - but NOBODY could get it to
   work worth a damn. Disaster !

   However their IT guy IS happy ... he got paid
   to xfer their files over to the new system, and
   now AGAIN going back to the OLD system that
   actually worked  :-)

   Oh, the Great New System is called "Dolphin".
   Now they have a dart-board with a dolphin
   pic on it. Really.  :-)

I don't know what my dentist uses. I know they changed software, and 
they have some computer with the old system in order to see the old 
data. But on their new terminal they have a 3D representation of my 
mouth, they can see in isolation a single molar, in 3D.

I cant answer for today but when my niece set up a dental practice it 
was all windows and the networking sucked. Microsoft didn't want  a 
desktop PC loaded with image processing software to talk to the x-ray 
machine.

Took a week to get it all working.

Well, I have no idea how they did it. I guess they hired someone to do 
it all.

They did have some problem with their tools: water not coming out when 
it should or the lamp going off. They muttered about something wrong on 
that station.

Indeed. The practice had support contracts with all the major software 
items and a support contract with the company who supplied the windows PCS.

Yup. The sheer cost of setting up a dental practice astonished me. Each 
chair is tens of thousands and the whole practice was near enough a million.

My dentist bought the practice from my former dentist about 25 years ago. 
It's her and a hygienist and unless there is a lot more traffic than I've 
ever seen I doubt it would be feasible today for a solo dentist to set 
up.

And unless things have changed recently, the chairs and a lot of
the other equipment are almost certainly made by one of two
companies headquartered in Newberg, Oregon, USA.  Last I heard,
https://www.a-dec.com/ has about 90% of the worldwide dental
chair (and equipment) market, while https://www.dcionline.com/
has nearly all of the other 10%.  Some of my neighbors work at
A-dec.  So, thanks for keeping my neighbors employed!
