I'm still waiting for them to get DNS and user services working. Then it'll finally be usable.

DNS
There's systemd-resolved. I don't know if you mean that it has some kind of limitation.
It doesn't work with private DNS servers or forward DNS over VPN. Removing it is always the first thing I have to do with new Linux installs.
It doesnโt work with private DNS servers or forward DNS over VPN.
Like, you want to have it query some particular DNS server?
From man 5 resolved.conf:
DNS=
A space-separated list of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to
use as system DNS servers.
For compatibility reasons, if
this setting is not specified, the DNS servers listed
in /etc/resolv.conf are used instead, if that file
exists and any servers are configured in it.
If you specify your private server there, it should work. For VPN, I mean, whatever VPN software you're using will need to plonk it in there. Maybe yours is not aware of systemd-resolved, is modifying /etc/resolv.conf after systemd-resolved has already started, and it doesn't watch it for updates?
In my /etc/nsswitch.conf, I have:
hosts: files myhostname mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns
I'm assuming that the "resolve" entry is for systemd-resolved.

https://www.procustodibus.com/blog/2022/03/wireguard-dns-config-for-systemd/
With systemd-resolved, however, instead of using that DNS setting, add the following PostUp command to the [Interface] section of your WireGuard config file:
PostUp = resolvectl dns %i 9.9.9.9#dns.quad9.net 149.112.112.112#dns.quad9.net; resolvectl domain %i ~.When you start your WireGuard interface up, this command will direct systemd-resolved to use the DNS server at 9.9.9.9 (or at 149.112.112.112, if 9.9.9.9 is not available) to resolve queries for any domain name.
I do not particularly care for it and most of my systems are still systemd free. Much like pulseaudio in its later days, I've learned to deal with it when I must. Also like pulseaudio, something better will probably come along.
This not a kill tony joke?
No, kill Tony just sticks his thumb up his butt for Joe Rogan. Nothing to do with Linux.
yesss
I don't mind the config.
I don't mind most of the features.
I dislike them trying to use timers to get rid of cron
I like it's logging for linux on the desktop if I lose some logs becuas of space that's what i'd do anyway
I don't like it's logging for servers, those logs are necessary and need to be preserved.
journalctl -f is pretty cool
journalctl -fu is pretty cool
The other day I wrote I like snaps and shot more rope than Spiderman.
Flatpak is amazing especially with storage being so cheap these days.
I just had an issue with the vscodium flatpak, been using it for two months with no issue in an online course, got to learning GUIs, import module, doesn't exist. I couldn't figure out why it wasn't there, installed three different python versions of it three different ways, still nothing. Couldn't even get vscodium to point to a different interpreter that I knew was there (yet it doesn't say it's not there, just that some things won't work). Still nothing. Three hours later, after trying everything I could think of, I realized that it was because I installed the flatpak version when it clicked that it worked in Geany and I didn't have python 3.13 in my repos, yet that was the only one I could see in vscodium.
That sounds like user error.
Vscodium isn't in the repos for opensuse, but yes, this user should have found a way to install it on bare metal in the first place.
Have you tried butterflies?

Systemd is the greatest innovation that Linux has ever seen bar none.
Since I started actually doing system administration and actually interacting directly with SystemD all of the hate for it I'd soaked up from enthusiast forums melted away. I've never used any of the other init systems so maybe I'm missing out, but I do appreciate SystemD for what it does

Frankly, this should be implemented with something like a combination of:

I just like being able to use things I learn across Ubuntu, Debian, Arch and RHEL.
Also prefixing a command with systemd-cat and having the logs go to the journal is pretty nice. Then I don't have to worry about rotating them.
