Don't get me started with systemd.  That is one of the things that makes me
rethink ever becoming a Linux system administrator.  You'd think that otherwise
intelligent people would know better, but I'm always unpleasantly surprised.

Biggest bunch of idiocy I've ever seen in Linux since Gnome and the way
