I am not sure about this. What services are you seeing which are
extraneous? I do see ps aux is going on miles and miles, but of the 218
processes I see from startup time on my workstation, I see 165 of them are
kernel processes versus user space ones. Of the remaining 53, most of them
seem hardware oriented (irqbalance, bluetooth, modemmanager, smartd,
udisksd, upowerd, etc). Looking at the rest we have about 20 processes
which seem outside of 'I don't want my laptop to work with modern hardware'
and that would be abrt, atd/crond/cupsd, packagekitd, colord, and the sssd
processes. So while ps auxww has a lot more going on in it, I actually see
a lot fewer extraneous processes than I remember from my Fedora 18 days.
