There's been much pushback over her incorporation plans, and there's also been some talk among Debian developers about the Pajeeta withdrawing in order to restart nominations, since a much more qualified candidate was hospitalized during the nominations and couldn't apply in time.

So far she has refused to let nominations reopen, which means Debian is SCREWED unless the devs vote "none of the above" in the election

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Debian, is in fact, Deb/Ian, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Deb plus Ian. Debian is not an operating system unto itself, but another free component of a non-functioning email system made useless by Indians, political correctness and suicidal empathy comprising a full turd as defined by my asshole.

This year there is only one candidate, Sruthi Chandran, so Debian voters will have a choice between Chandran as DPL or "None of the above". The campaign period will run through April 3, and the voting period will run from April 4 to April 17.

It would be fucking hilarious having debian devs jumping ship and moving en masse to devuan effectively reversing the dynamic between the two distros.
>>
>>108438173
I doubt they'd move to Devuan because systemd works and is not the problem with Debian. I can see renegades forking it to adopt better communication systems.
>>
>>108438204
Consider that Devuan Excalibur has SystemD available among the init systems (the distro objective was to remove all hard dependencies, not systemd as an option among the others) and it's also established as a fork, my scenario wouldn't be unrealistic, maybe very unlikely if any.

By and large these developers probably want systemd as a default since it solves a lot of problems and is what servers (Debian's main use case) depend on to do their jobs. The systemdless community have also shown a complete inability to fork software and remove systemd requirements from them (eg GNOME is getting dropped from systemdless distros, though one could say good riddance).

>By and large these developers probably want systemd as a default
Devuan prompts you what init to set during installation, it's not a matter of "default" really

>The systemdless community have also shown a complete inability to fork software and remove systemd requirements from them
Partially incorrect, the community managed to reduce the over reliance on systemd on a lot of projects (to the point Debian itself could reintroduce the option for different init within their repos), the problem exist with specific (cancerous) big projects like Gnome, as you pointed out, that make the process of removing the hard dependencies a perpetual chore (much like, for example, youtube actively fucking with third part players).

That said we're basically discussing the sex of the angels, having another debian fork where all debian devs may migrate would be equally entertaining regardless.

I have put some thought into it and this would have been part of my
platform in my "late" nomination.
In anycase, I don't pretend to fuel or deviate the attention for the
current campaign, therefore if you think this should be further
discussed and you'd like my involvement on it vote NotA for having a
reelection.

I would say my biggest activity with respect to Diversity was organizing DebConf23 in India. In addition to that, I have been involved in mentoring new contributors from India before and after DC. Directly and indirectly I could get more contributors and Debian Developers from India.

Like this entire sentence is just "Yes I know geographic diversity and ethnic diversity is important and by that I just mean India. India is the only important geography". She has no other goals other than propping open the door for India. She doesn't even acknowledge that most of the developers are European.

Divorces can happen for a variety of reasons (cheating being one of them), dunno what caused the divorce though.

>>108441709
I just don't see how this doesn't instantly disqualify her. If I joined an organization and my one and only policy for diversifying the developer base is "WE NEED MORE WHITE PEOPLE, WHITES ARE THE GREATEST DEVELOPERS AND A BETTER WHITE OUTREACH MEANS A BETTER PROJECT" my candidacy would be terminated instantly. She does this with Indians while being an Indian and crickets? No one even mentioning that this is just saying "More of me good" and little else spoken of in terms of performance or project outreach? Even in my hypothetical it's at least a description of why we would need more outreach, she can't even give that.

Yes I know that the entire basis of modern liberalism is "White bad" and that's why this doesn't apply to her, but this is putting that aside: She didn't mention anything about outreach, she just wants to incorporate more of her.
>>
>>108441717
This is a definite conflict of interest and if I were in the mailing list, I would probably mention something along those lines: Seeing a diversity outreach program and only considering your home country first is a massive conflict of interest and is extremely self-serving.

Even Sloppy Nutella of Microsoft has the brains to incorporate Africa, South America, the Middle East into his diversification plans, she can't get past her own borders.
>>
>>108441709
You may be in luck, NOTA is treated as a candidate. >>108435378
So if she's literally the only choice and NOTA is an option, it becomes her vs all of the bad things she's been saying that is absolutely toxic to the project. So if everyone think incorporating in America, hiring a ton of indians, and closing the project from the community is a good idea: It'll only get done then. The Debian devs may be pussywhipped, but I don't think they're stupid enough to go for that.

Oh god this one is a fucking bombshell, shelve all the other ideas and focus on this one:
>Sruthi Chandran, you were a DebConf organiser when Abraham Raji died.

She was one of the organizers when one of the largest scandals to ever sweep the Debian community: Two contributors dying under mysterious circumstances while all the organizers were extremely hush-hush about it, the only evidence being emails they made to the coroner about how they were probably foul play (The coroner buried it, nobody from the organizers spoke up).

tl;dr This is like if someone put Twitchcon 2022 or Firefest into their resume for convention organizing and it's being ignored because it's metaphorical skeletons in her closet.

Wrong, it actually just asks you to rank the candidates in order from best to worst, including NotA, and the pairwise matchup results for that ballot are derived from that (if some candidate X is ranked higher than some candidate Y, then X wins in the X vs Y pairwise matchup)

Debian has been dying institutionally for years now. I'm not surprised at all that they got to the point where only one candidate has been put forward for their project leader elections.

Debian is extremely important as a project but its governance? Not good and too much red tape deters people from wanting to get involved with the project. They also struggle to attract developers because all of the tooling is old and archaic and nobody wants to do anything about it.

Frankly, it's really sad to see Debian in this state. A once great project reduced to this.

There are hoops to jump through and it would take a while, though it would be possible. There's probably no way to do it before the 2026 DPL voting period ends.

>>108453144
The post you replied to isn't completely true. Debian had 4 DPL candidates in 2024, so it's not like no one wants to do it. We just had the worst case scenario happen this time around. As a Debian user for a while now I can tell you that each release gets better in terms of software reach, backports, etc. So as a project it is nowhere near dead. There are obviously many issues with it, and the way it does things is slow and archaic, but in some ways that is a benefit. The reality is that the only relevant community distros are Arch and Debian. Maybe Gentoo, but Gentoo is in my opinion more of a meme than Arch.

I found something interesting.

Sruthi says she's been active in the Debian scene since 2016 or 2020.
https://www.debian.org/vote/2024/platforms/srud
There were two DebConfs in India since 2020: a mini DebConf in 2021 and a regular DebConf in 2023.
https://in2021.mini.debconf.org/schedule/
Notice something?
SRUTHI ISN'T THERE !!

Sruthi was the main organizer of DebConf India 2023.
https://debconf23.debconf.org/schedule/
Notice something?
NONE OF THE SPEAKERS FROM 2021 ARE THERE

However, there was one... Abraham Raji.
WHO DIED AT DEBCONF 2023 UNDER SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES
https://debconf23.debconf.org/news/2023-09-14-mourning-abraham/

Look at the talks at mini DebConf 2021
>technical, interesting, nerdy, requires knowledge of Linux and understanding of how it works
Talks at DebConf 2023
>sustainable code, "chatting", "Adulting", DEI, yadda yadda yadda

The contrast is stark. And we all know her platform:
>If I am not wrong, when I contested in 2020, I was the second non-(cis)male DPL candidate till date. As with my last two rounds of contesting for DPL (2020 & 2021), this year too my primary goal of contesting is to bring the diversity issues for discussion.

1) Who is Sruthi Chandran?

2) What did Abraham Raji do?

not really, i believe the law requires distros to display the age of the person using them but nothing else, it won't lock you out from using your pc
but at the same time, apps will start using this as a scapegoat and will defer all age verifiation to the system level, therefore if you say you are a minor on your system, they won't let you use the apps
and therefore, some distros will probably have age verification by photo to ensure you are not lying

Alma Linux and Rocky Linux are community-driven. Solus Linux is community-driven and is relatively stable. Hyperbola Linux is community-driven and is an LTS distro, but they also plan to move to a OpenBSD kernel rewritten for GPL. Mageia and OpenMandriva are both community-driven and are LTS distros.

>In Australia, we all learn the basic rules of swimming. Never swim alone is one of those rules. Swim in the marked swimming areas.

>Debian people like to reinvent the wheel and find their own way of doing things. The DebConf organizers are particularly bad at this. People are constantly bike shedding about the costs of minor things. They tell the foreigners from poor countries that they have to pay their own visa fees.

I'm imagining because everyone else is either too mentally unwell to handle the responsibility, or too scared of something bad happening to them, since cancel culture is pretty much at its absolute worst inside open source project organizations. So not only do you have to navigate a minefield where there is a mine every single step in every direction (some of which turn off if you're not white or male), you also have to be really good at writing software for anyone to find you credible, and modern software development is one of the most unnatural insane things I've ever experienced.
Like is it any wonder no one's stepping up? The job requirements, at the moment, are literally super-human.

As someone that has been using Debian since Stretch, what's the best distro to hop to?
Ideally with support for videogames/emulation, and various media codecs for shit like vlc
>>
>>108478753
Okay, I should rephrase that. MOST of the mines get turned off if you're neither white nor male. A white man would have to maintain a bunch of libraries too.
>>
>>108478803
If you want to stay on the debian branch, devuan.
It's the same as debian, they don't force you to use systemd (but you still can, if you want to) and they don't have a CoC or any of this stupid politics.
>>
>>108478803
Depends on what conf do you need and what's the reason for your hopping, if you want to switch because of the impending age verification issue then, from the top of my head, devuan (it's a systemd-lesd debian fork), gentoo or ageless linux (it's vanilla debian patched out of the age verification shit).
>>
>>108478846
I'll check it out, thanks.
Apparently slackware has made statements against this sort of shit and I've been meaning to try that out for basic day to day stuff.
>>
>>108478861
So far, the relevant distros that have a firm stance against it are Artix, Devuan, and Slackware. There's also ageless linux but that's more of a protest distro to legally champion the cause and challenge the laws, worth keeping an eye on but not a serious distro you'd use.
Void and Endeavour said they won't implement it but they were a bit more vague. Vaid say "they don't plan on doing it for now", which mean they might plan on doing it "for later". Endeavour cried they don't have the manpower but it will likely come to them from upstream (arch/systemd) and then they could cry the don't have the manpower to remove it.
Devuan is the obvious replacement for Debian, Artix is the equivalent for Arch. I don't know much about Slackware other that they're linux dinosaurs. Real based. Their founder implied he's interested in legally challenging the new laws, so that's great too, even if you don't use it.
>>
>>108478846
>but you still can, if you want to
I thought they blacklisted systemd stuff from even being installed. But if it's ultimately just Debian with a different init system, it's still going to inherit the problems of Debian's imminent jeetening.

Sruthi hasn't posted to the mailing list in six days. This is supposed to be the "campaigning" phase, where she canvasses for support. But apparently she thinks it is enough to show up, declare herself for DEI and give a few "I'll talk to people and decide in the future" answers to technical questions.

You all think DEI is pushed and schemed into organisations by evil Jews and communists working behind the scenes. When in actuality it is pushed for by people like Sruthi, who lack the technical expertise to rise through the ranks so they do shit like this. She waited in the sidelines for her moment. She ran twice before for DPL. Now that no one else has shown interest she has a chance of winning because she is unopposed.

OR, and this is my copium/hopium, the DPL position isn't a big deal and Debian developers see it as a "everyone gets a turn" type position. Debian has been around for 30 years, their structures, teams and ways of doing things are quite stable. I think, hope really, Debian org is built in such a way that it couldn't be ruined by a single person in the course of a year.

It looks as though major changes to what they do and how they do it is done through proposals and discussion.

Sruthi should not become DPL, not because she's Indian or a woman, but because she is incompetent and during her brief stint in a leadership/organisational role 1) someone had died, 2) organisators lied about what happened, 3) no further updates were provided. She is incompatible with a free software project. Her "Debian developer" status should be revoked.
>>
>>108484732
That whole DebConf23 thing proves that she is following izzat. Someone died and she swept it under the rug because that would be negative izzat. Somebody else wanted to join the election, yet she won't allow nominations to reopen because that would be negative izzat. And she won't admit that incorporating Debian is retarded because that would be negative izzat.

I DON'T WANT FUCKING DEBIZZAT!

>>
>>108486202
maybe the Debian developers hadn't consider that. go share it on the mailing list, that argument will definitely convince them to vote NOTA.
>>
>>108486248
Devuan uses the same repos as Debian, except with systemd blacklisted along with any packages that depend on systemd. The Devuan people gave up on fixing software to remove systemd dependence, and since Devuan ultimately uses the Debian repos it's going to suffer from Debian's jeetening.

...if anything they depends on debian as a base but the amprolla infrastructure can be migrated to other base os in theory (for example gentoo).
>>
>>108487639
After the nominations there was some talk about changing the nomination phase (specifically to make it so the nomination time period extends if a nominee nominates him/herself so close to the end, like Sruthi did). It really does need it. I know NotA exists but that's such a sledge hammer response to a complex situation.
>>
is the mailing list website dead or is my internet acting funny

>>108488414
It's been going up and down for at least a week. Debian's websites do that normally though. But to be fair so do Canonical's sometimes.

I have refused to use Arch, Gentoo and other bs distros for like a decade, no matter how hard they were shilled from every direction in any tech community.

I only used what works and gets the job done. But now they've done it. I am literally going to compile Gentoo today. I cannot believe this. It's actually going to happen. Surreal.
>>
>>108483453
Troons easily. You have to be stupid to think otherwise. They literally have nothing to do but wear women closes and contribute to FOSS. Just slap his ass when you hear him talking communist gibberish.And it's fine.
Plus.
You take their stuff away and they kill themselves. Jeet would just go work in some call center. And I don't want to know what cuck would be into. So it is morally correct to have your distro full of troons.
