Hi.
I’m actually amazed how many people comment without having a clue what they are talking about.
What you’re describing is not an issue but the fix of an issue 😃
When the kernel boots with the parameter quiet, systemd should get the option systemd.show_status=auto. With this option it should only inform about failures and such like. In current releases this finally works.
To get the old behaviour you just have to add systemd.show_status=true to your kernel parameters.
It’s not that difficult to build your own kernel based on the official debian one: https://kernel-team.pages.debian.net/kernel-handbook/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-official
Before clicking the link I thought there was a new restic clone/fork out there…
They are still developing and selling Sailfish OS. They just stopped making their own hardware.
Yes it has. But it’s still working fine for me.
There are some forks that might be better, but since I don’t experience too much issues I never looked for alternatives.
Around 10 years ago after the radeon xorg driver broke for the nth time on my arch install, I decided to just ditch Xorg altogether. I used screen for multiplexing, mutt for mail, irssi and some other messanger and w3m with (framebuffer support for images) for browsing the interwebs. I also had a videoplayer. I think it was mplayer. I rocked that setup for almost a year during college. Fun times.
Yes that’s the recommended path.
Information on how to upgrade can be found in the official documentation:

As others pointed out it might be a PITA. Depending on your installed software and configuration a new install might be easier.
