Comment 9 for bug 1311933

I believe I'm the only one guaranteed to be sent that last comment via email, so assuming that's specifically to me: not an Ubuntu user, I'm afraid.

In fact, also no longer an arch user and although probably temporary, in double fact at the moment not even a Linux user; after 15 years of exclusive Linux use, systemd and its accompanying at every update shifting but ever vast array of dependency loops and races in the arch linux bootup has managed to finally drive me out.

For now I will admit; Windows is perhaps almost equally annoying. But Ubuntu: save yourself and Linux while you're at it: do NOT adopt that race-ridden-by-design computer-science student pipedream after all.

Not unless you simultaneously decide to become RedHat, which has a number of years ago in turn decided to try and become Microsoft and/or Apple in denying users as much freedom to control/define their own systems as possible. Note that doing so will not get you Windows users: it works the other way around. Don't go by a mere month of testing either -- at first, I liked it as well...

Now THAT was a misdirected rant if ever I saw one. Still, after 15 years one is tempted to try and help save what little is left of the Linux desktop SOMEwhere...
