Aye...

almost 40x bigger...

simply amazing...

in all the wrong ways though...

I'm glad I took the leap and switched to Devuan, and restored some sanity to my system.

Systemd for example has 1 million lines of code vs openrc which has like less than 100000 lines of code.

Hello.

Very interesting statistic. Where can i find it?

P.S.

Sorry for the noise. I find it

Of course, token counts are generally not comparable across languages, and depending on what exactly those tokens are the same count may represent different levels of complexity. But it's generally a more accurate measure than lines of code.

1 million lines of code is very damn excessive. Actually, I was wrong, openrc has less than 20K lines of code currently. 1/5 of the limit I had said.

less than 100k?

Nah, its less than 20K

Hmm... thats weird, it looks like systemd must have been getting stuff torn out, because i see it has 790K

But yeah, 790K is still massively unreasonable.

But yeah, a million lines of code in systemd is like what on earth is it trying to do 🤨 And do you really want code of this complexity run as pid 1.

Systemd for example has 1 million lines of code vs openrc which has like less than 100000 lines of code.

Its like wtf lol.

There's also of how many features the program has, and how many of them are actually required and how many are redundant or superfluous. Kinda subjective, but if you have a specific usage pattern then a program that offers lots of features unrelated to your usage then obviously it's not minimal relative to what you use it for. If a feature isn't used for the majority of use cases, we can say that it's redundant and the program is bloated and not minimal.

enjoyed this commentary and the comments as well

Whoa... "Gnome" and "minimalist", in the same sentence...

I think I need to sit down. big_smile

Gnome and minimalism go together like the idea of drinking sewer water and being healthy go in the same sentence.

aka, an oxymoron.

Btw, what determines if something is minimalistic is how much it taxes the system on ram and cpu, more than the line of code.

Although, if you have complex code and a lot of it being used, the ram usage and cpu usage is bound to go WAY UP.

So... yeah.

Feel free to disagree, but that's my view.

other legitimate use cases like remote clients

Howso?

2D drawing primitives that almost nobody uses because these days most programs render directly to buffer instead, or use the GPU's 3D rendering functions.

You mean that certain set of 2d primitives is outdated or the idea of a network centric DS having 2D primitives is outdated?

I think I need to sit down.
