> The problem I have with this change ... as with a lot of systemd's foibles ... is that it's motivated by the desktop use-case, primarily Gnome. Thing is, there are a lot more Linux systems running on servers than on desktops, and a lot of the existing Linux desktops don't run Gnome. Yet all Linux users are being asked to change how their applications work because Gnome can't control its processes. That's equivalent to forcing everyone to wear face masks because a few people have bad breath. Get those people some Scope and stop bothering the rest of us.
Nice one, thank you.
In an ideal world, upstream would come pre-configured to ease the work of the majority of its users. In the real-world... thank God we're spoilt with our choice of Linux distributions and all the hard and ungrateful work they're doing.
