I think you're disregarding my point. (Which is mildly vexing, but I'm not a newcomer to the Internet, so I'm used to it.) To restate, once: A bit of bloatware becoming potentially providable and potentially enabled by default in a distribution doesn't make it a foregone conclusion that it will be both. And also it should be noted when that bloatware can be trivially disabled because by its nature it is an optional service. Remember the hilarious security and functionality screwup with systemd-resolved? That was justifiably mocked, but also not the subject of great concern because it was a bit of systemd bloatware that distros were not enabling by default, and could also be trivially disabled because it was an optional service. I'll bet both continue to be case, though I don't care enough to check. Debian, among others, runs rsyslog by default even though systemd-journald has been present since early days. And so on. OK, I've now made the point twice. I'm done. -- Cheers, "My hot flight attendant asked how I like my coffee.
