Aihe: [DNG] Devuan presentation at Chemnitzer Linux-Tage (Germany) 2018?
Quote: << "Why I Hate systemd" >>
Since systemd has been adopted by most distributions, "Hate" is
probably going to derail any objective discussion. A better title
would be, "Why init freedom offers more flexibility" or something
similar. As others said, it is absolutely not wise to use any emotion
loaded words.

I would prepare such a lecture by making a great effort to be as
objective as possible. Therefore, my advice is to stick to facts.
Avoid unproven claims and if possible support your arguments visually
with statistics stating what statistic was used together with the
corrisponding confidence level.

Besides the above, when it comes to give the philosophical reasons as
to why Devuan was established, again, try to support your arguments
with facts, especially that there are situations where conventional
GNU/Linux offers more control over a machine and why such control is a
benefit. Keep in mind that someone from the audience may tell you that
fine control requires the knowledge of complicated shell scripting and
the knowledge of how diverse programs are configured in their
configuration files. In this case be sincere: being more knowledgeable
is the small price to pay.
