...and now you know why I don't run systemd. I believe their thought process is: what would Windows do? This is an example. For instance, the desktop shell still crashes often. In the old days, this would lock up the keyboard and mouse, and you'd have to power cycle. But MS "fixed" it by simply adding infinite restarts to the system. Now we have systemd. When something crashes, there's no need to fix the bug, just restart it.

My favorite new misfeature is PulseAudio. These geniuses actually built code for a multi-user, multi-tasking OS...which will only run for ONE user, and then only if that user is logged in. So forget running cron jobs, and sounding an alert if something needs attention.

This is all code produced by FreeDesktop[.]org. Thanks to them, your industrial strength, mission-critical server OS is now only suitable for single-user desktop systems.
