#LinuxStandardBase

@YHNdnzj @pid_eins the only reason I've not been able to add #systemd support to @OS1337 is that it would exceed the target size of 1440kB for the initial core Edition and despite popular #disinformation, systemd is NOT a single binary but closer to an entire "#systemland" / "#userland" thus and not a simple "put #binary here" approach (compared to say #toybox) would work here...

  • It would certainly make #OS1337 a more 'complete' distro in line with #LinuxStandardBase but that's a 'nice to have when I have nothing else to do' stretch goal for that distro.

At my daily work regular #Linux distros like #UbuntuLTS just work and use systemd…

@osnews IMHO the #LSB (#LinuxStandardBase) should mandate $HOME/.config/$APP/ for configuration files.

Ideally userspache-apps would then go into like $HOME/.apps/$APP/

@elke *nodds in agreement*

#bash for example is one I've to deal with daily because it's the standard for #Linux and I doubt @torvalds or whoever is writing the #LinuxStandardBase is going to migrate stuff to #fish anytime soon...

Bash kinda sucks in a way #Sibelius sucks for #composing...
