I find lightdm to be pretty good and doesn't spawn off all the junk that
gdm does. I mean, if I'm not using gnome, why the hell does gdm insist
on spawning a resource-hogging gnome-shell when the beblistered thing
is never going to be used?

IMHO the systemd, journald and Gnome developers deserve a trip to the
woodshed. "targets?" "wants?" "units?" "services?" What the hell? These
are bloody awful, overly complex and bug-ridden implementations of
solutions for problems existed only in the developers' minds. How they
got adopted by the community is beyond me.

Hey, gang, just because you _can_ do something doesn't mean you
_should_ do it!
