It's systemd. VOMIT!!! DRY HEAVES!!!


I had the same reaction when I went from Scientific Linux (RHEL clone)
to Fedora.

Guess what? Once you learn it and get past the cussing phase,
you will adore it. So cowboy up!

no. switch to FreeBSD or Devuan, instead.

"New" and/or "Shiny" does NOT equal "Better" and systemd forced WAY too
many people to re-learn for NO good reason, which is a *WASTE* *OF*
*TIME*. If I spent a lot of time learning how to configure a system
with SysV startup, WHY should _I_ *HAVE* to CHANGE because a bunch of
self-centered MORONS "felt" as if I NEEDED to?

And I say that about a LOT of things "modern" *spit* since 2008-ish.
Change for the sake of change. *NO* !!! If it WORKS, _DO_ _NOT_
_BREAK_ _IT_ I say!!! And that goes TRIPLE for what was done to UIs
through the 2D FLATTY FLAT FLATSO FLUGLY-ness, vs 3D skeuomorphic. It's
not "modern". It's ******.
