Medevel ☛ The Systemd Civil War: A Personal Perspective on Linux's Evolution
Having spent over two decades in the GNU/Linux ecosystem, I've witnessed countless changes that have shaped our community.
[...]
The beauty of Linux has always been choice. Whether you embrace systemd's integrated approach or prefer a more traditional setup, there's a distribution out there for you.
The rise of non-systemd alternatives isn't just about technical preferences - it's a reminder that our community values diversity of thought and implementation.
After all these years in Linux, I've learned that what matters most is finding a system that aligns with your values and needs. The debate around systemd has ultimately made our ecosystem stronger by encouraging alternatives and keeping the spirit of choice alive.
Remember, there's no universally "right" choice - only the right choice for your specific needs and preferences. Whether you choose to stick with systemd or explore alternatives, what's important is understanding the trade-offs and making an informed decision.

Tomeu Vizoso: Etnaviv NPU update 21: Support for the NPU in the NXP i.MX 8M Plus SoC is upstream!
Several months have passed since the last update. This has been in part due to the summer holidays and a gig doing some non-upstream work, but I have also had the opportunity to continue my work on the NPU driver for the VeriSilicon NPU in the NXP i.MX 8M Plus SoC, thanks to my friends at Ideas on Board.
