Ok I see. Without any intention to sound offensive, 5 servers is not enough to really see the pro cons of either init system.

I always go arch for stuff that needs the new shit, and debian for stuff that should run stable. Those nix bazzite tubleweed thingies are nice, but too niche, if you have a problem the small communities are less probable to have it as well and good luck finding solutions

He is not that bad, the issue is that, as all foss devs, he is not interested in solving problems he does not feel like are important.

The problem is, he disapproves when resources are allocated in his project to those problems and one main area he is not a fan of is support for legacy stuff.

It just happens that legacy stuff is the majority of the industry, as production environment of half the globe needs to run legacy software and a lot of it on legacy hardware

And they are all playtoys, unused in production by anyone serious for a reason.

Excuse me but wtf? How many machines do you manage?
