Just curious to know if anyone has been using the same distro for multiple years/decades and what or if you have it takes for you to want to switch to a different distro?

    I’m similarly not a fan of systemd, but for backup battery and power management it seems to do the trick.

    You say that like it’s a feature we never had before. I used apcupsd to save my homelab server many, maaany times during blackouts in NJ, and I was there from 1999.

      I’m not sure what you mean?

      I’m certainly not saying systemd is the only way or best way to solve this problem, only that it does in fact work, despite the other many misgivings I have with it.

      I’m also not sure whether you’re trying to turn this into a measuring contest, or why? My home setups are relatively rigorous for a residential setting, but they’re all based on the many many years I worked in data centers, mostly in Los Angeles which is notorious for poor power availability and stability.
