I do not understand why we cannot go back to the old Gnome. The code did not
disappear.
Anything connected to systemd and their "way" of building software is dead to
me. It is bloated and just wastes and wastes and wastes. It is all about NIH
syndrome. They should be game devs, not system devs. More features in a game
are wanted and it is expected to take some resources. System code just needs
to stay out of the way. We don't use computers except to use the programs and
the apps. System code is the scaffolding on which that hangs. Linux
pre-systemd pre-gnome-imposion was elegant. SysV is easy.
I just installed a Upstart based distro (not even systemd) on an extra
computer. SysV was easy to set up, remove programs from startup. With Upstart
you must remove X bit from /etc/init.d/ script! so if you want to start it
manually you cant. Trash. SysV is fine. Systemd is worse than Upstart.
"Various Phoronix readers have written in this weekend and commented in the
forums and elsewhere that systemd developers forked the Linux kernel. This is
not the case..."
Yes they forked LINUX the OS, indeed not the kernel, all of userspace!
