As Lisi and others have pointed out, the design of systemd and the decision of Debian to make systemd the 'default', or in practice the only init system, are set in stone. There's nothing to discuss. The level of interest of either systemd developers or Debian developers in a single user's opinion is significantly less than zero. How can it be otherwise? The interest of either group in offering any advice about possible avoidance of systemd is similarly less than zero, again for obvious reasons. The only people who may have any constructive advice are here, in Debian-user. And here is also where the help is for living with systemd. I've had help from Michael Biebl and others with a couple of problems, one of which finally went away of its own accord four or five days ago. I'll only get help from higher up if I can provide enough information for a useful bug report, and I haven't yet learned enough to do so with my recent problems. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
