I'm not systemd user, and I generally see this absorbing as much as possible as a terrible practice. I don't usually comment on systemd stuff, since I'm happy just not being forced to use it.
However, even though I don't use it, the decision of people managing systemd really affects non systemd users. See by succeeding in getting all major distros into become systemd distros (somehow now governed by RH, if anyone cares), everything systemd absorbs tend to leave alternatives sooner or later deprecated, or abandoned.
Even autofs is no longer part of some official repos, given systemd has its own auto mount/unmount functionality... And there are several other examples...
At any rate, hopefully the more bloated systemd, doesn't make it the more vulnerable. And also hopefully, doesn't make life worse and worse to non systemd distros and users...
BTW, before sudo there was su, so a life without sudo is possible, :)
How about bcachefs. I'm waiting for it to support swapfiles, which seems to be in the TODO list, but so far doesn't work. If you use swap partition[s], or prefer not to have swap at all (I never fell for this, and besides swap is required for hibernation if that's a thing for you), then bcachefs is ready for you. It's already part of linux since 6.7, and on Artix, current linux is 6.8.9...
To me is the FS to use. I'm still on luks + ext4 (no LVM) and do entire home backups with plain rsync to an external device. I'd have to learn new stuff, since ext4 is really basic and easy to configure if in need, but I think bcachefs is worth it, and as mentioned, just waiting for it to support swapfiles, :)
Uff, somehow missed your post. See mine. That's the FS I'm hoping to use next. I'm waiting for it to support swapfile, or alternatively read from official sources they won't ever support it, :). But yes, that's the one I'm looking forward to use.
Will they keep doing that, is there a policy about it written somewhere? Have they expressed something about it in a forum or news, just like mint did at some point when ubuntu started with firefox mess and others. I can't find anything from their web site, and on this reddit post, Does Rhino Linux use Ubuntu mirrors for apt packages?, it seems they follow closely ubuntu's mirrors, and if they do so, whatever ubuntu stops supporting on APT, sounds like rhino will stop supporting on APT as well.
This would be very sad at least for me.
Besides !rhinolinux, which is not officially supported by rhino, there are 5 social media mechanisms they support, which I don't have account for neither I want to, and I don't want to subscribe to another mailing list either. Good old IRC is not one of the contact mechanisms supported BTW, neither email (but even if they did, I don't want to subscribe to yet another email list)... Perhaps someone on any of those official communication channels can ask and share what they answer, making a reference to what they answered already regarding repos...
I've always just used konsole or gnome terminal. Never really looked into what else is available. Tried cool-retro-term the other day, but the novelty wore off pretty fast for me....
For those kitty users, have anyone been able to use fonts not in the list kitty support? I only use Terminus (OTB) fonts on terminal, and when trying kitty out, I found no way to get it to use Terminus (I could only select between those supported by kitty).
It looks like, though OTB (opentype bitmap fonts) are different than plain bitmap fonts, and are actually supported by pango. Alacritty allows me to use Terminus OTB fonts for example. There are other true type fonts which are also sort of my plan B, which are not supported by kitty either, as mentioned, I wanted to see if there's a way not just to select between the list kitty offers, which is sort of limited. At any rate if not Terminus, I don't really like much my plan B true type fonts much...
