>Why don't you like systemd, guys? (I guess I have said everything below some time ago, when answering the same question)
I would benefit from extermination of all software enforcing impossibility of anything similar to startx. Systemd is written so that it makes impossible working startx as a side effect. I want to write a small setuid binary starting a new X session (a second or a third one). I have an idea what I want my system to do and what I want my system not to do. Systemd spreads like cancer swiping more and more areas of the system into a single monolithic (even if multi-executable; it has no published stable interfaces) blob; each time it starts to do something, in a new area it takes additional effort to make it stop doing that, it is quite often very active by default. In some cases, like with session management, it is impossible to get back the simple behavior I always had and liked. I am still not sure if journald has reached the performance level of plain text logs. Also, apparently logs do get corrupted from time to time; with text logs I generally lose access to less data than with journald. >>>Oh, yes, another thing: independence of systemd :D >> >> Oh?
