Distributors ponder a systemd change

I have a tendency to look at Linux in a schizophrenic way; sometimes I play at low levels, sometimes I pretend I don't know anything about computers and just use the desktop or terminal. I also have all kinds of UNIX books around here, and I have no idea how often I've seen the "nohup" command mentioned in those books. I would bet there are literally *hundreds* of UNIX/Linux books like that.

I am sorry to have to say this, but this change doesn't sit well with me. If it goes through, it should be EXTREMELY EASY for a person who has installed Linux to fix, and the instructions should be written in big bold letters by the distributor.

If you Linux developers don't want to lose users because of frustrating problems caused by one guy, I suggest you remember that some of us are still out here boosting Linux, and often those who try it aren't all that happy when they get frustrated. There are a lot of packages that don't "just work" on Linux, and that ain't good. The distributors had better make sure software continues to work as expected if you don't want things to get worse.
