I found out about it while making a Jekyll plugin, the speed improvement is really noticeable

ImageMagick does the job but can be slow. libvips is à faster alternative

What I mean by “lower level” is that it has less abstractions built in

Systemd abstracts so much stuff away that it does not feel like learning Linux “from scratch” :/

(I like having it in my daily driver, but it’s sad LFS had to drop support for a “lower level” init system)

This thread was a fun read. The part where the author tries covering up their BS with force pushes is so messed up…

Downvoted for cropping out the reference to the original…
