Right now I am testing a systemd based Debian derivative, to see what I will be missing. Testing takes time etc. I am not very impressed, so far. During last months, nothing I would like to have so much that I would go with systemd. It just behaves predictably, which is a lot, but not really lot. After all, it is still a Linux. However, performance seems to be worse. I have a really old (like, decade) desktop with really antique Debian (pre-systemd) and it seems to behave faster than a newish (bought from second hand) laptop with integrated CPU/GPU and Parrot installed on it. The clocks - I always downclock as a rule. So old Debian is clocked @800MHz and Parrot @1100MHz. Hence Parrot really could do a bit more, but nope. Feels sluggish, but I might be making this up. After all, I do not like the whole idea of systemd and stuff. Well, a small difference - Debian runs on four cores, and Parrot cannot. On four cores it overheats and shuts down whenever I try to use it - be it computing control sums or compiling. In order to be any usable at all I have to boot it with maxcpus=1. This probably tells more about quality of laptop than Parrot. But I will see more when I install something else on it. -- Regards, Tomasz Rola -- ** A C programmer asked whether computer had Buddha's nature. ** ** As the answer, master did "rm -rif" on the programmer's home ** ** directory.
