Run0, a systemd based alternative to sudo, announced

I don't want to learn a new network config alternative with every update (Ubuntu changed its net config tool again with 24.04). I don't want an immutable os. I don't want to learn to write new config files. I just want to do what I've been doing but with new packages. If there's a problem with something, just fix it. Don't throw out the whole thing.

I moved to FreeBSD and am happy for its reluctance to change. If there is any, it's usually offering something genuinely new to me as a feature and to boot I only need to learn about it if I need it.

Hardware support is much lower but it's worth it IMO. I had the same irritation with macOS. Every release breaking something essential that was part of my workflow and i didn't want to change. Eventually I did change but away from Apple.

I don't want to change to LennartOS either.

Jokes aside, I just think that life is constant change and the programming industry is a good example of that. Coding practices have improved a lot in the last few years and will continue to improve with new knowledge and new technology. Sometimes it's better to start anew from scratch than trying to adapt old code into new practices.

Btw this is not a young whippersnapper saying this. My first IT job was on FreeBSD and OpenBSD. I was a full-time FreeBSD user from 04 to ~10.

And I remember exacty this gripe back in 2011 when Debian was using one network config, RHEL another. Today I actually enjoy the progress made with systemd, and I'm that annoying co-worker who will give you crap for disabling SElinux.
