The other day, Michael W Lucas, who is normally known for good technical literature, put up a wild experiment of a short story: Savaged by Systemd. It's erotica, sort of. It's computer erotica, to be specific. It's Linux sysadmin erotica, to be more specific. OK, fine, it's systemd erotica. Really. Anyway, despite the subject and the genre, and in spite of the combination of the two, the e-book is trending and rising in quite a few lists.
Hopefully he can still remain focused on Absolute FreeBSD and be able to get that finished by the next BSDCan.
[Ed note: Has anybody actually bought and read this short story? I wasn't going to spend $2.99 to see what the hubub was about. - cmn32480]

Artix, an admittedly somewhat rough fork of ArchLinux, seems to work well enough. I had some issues with the Calamares installer; it's best to partition your drive manually and then just have Calamares mount the partitions, not format them, apparently. And initial install takes a while since it's mostly coming off Sourceforge. But once in it works just like Arch with OpenRC init. I run Plasma 5 with no problems, and was able to get Gnome 3.24 going with no issues (except, well, it's Gnome 3.x...).

Sounds interesting; I'll give a trial in VirtualBox. My Linux box is running Manjaro-OpenRC ATM and seems to be fine now, though there was some issue with the elogind change a while back that caused problems I couldn't fix. Admittedly these might have been my fault as a) I was running a non-Manjaro kernel and b) I've not been an actual honest-to-goodness Linux administrator for 20 years or so, hence it's possible/probable I did something that caused it.
