[Solved] Differentiate between various Linux distros
Gustavo 'Gus' Carreno:
Hey Y'all,
This actually made me curious of how many ways we can assess this and I've added another app to my Test* collection of apps: Test Linux Distribution Information
Of course I went all overboard and it even has i18n with one language: Portuguese.
Hope it's useful for anyone.
TODO:
* Get the information via the lsb_release CLI command
* Find if these 4/5 methods are really the whole shibang or if there are others.
Cheers,
Gus

This is not correct.
There is a hardcore crew that is angry about systemd.

Fake news? For sure. There is a very valid reason everybody is using systemd: it works better than the old alternatives.

You don't know what you're talking about. This cannot even be called "news" -- now the association is unsurprising for someone whose profile picture is a flag of Ukraine and recently called the President of the Russian Federation a criminal in his signature. You seem to like talking about what you don't know.
I bet you haven't even read about the reasons why systemd is criticized.

Don't call everything you're not informed about "fake news".
Some former Debian Developers issued an non-systemd Debian called Devuan:

Some people are also still maintaining Minix. That doesn't mean Linux is irrelevant, but also not that all Linux code should still work with Minix.
