I seemed to never care until they took my sysvinit away (or maybe any decent init system :D). Then they took resolv.conf control away. Then when I shutdown my computer, some random process takes 1 min 30 seconds to shutdown when it probably doesn't need to. Then I read on hacker news recently that Fedora uses a systemd daemon for handling OOM and the writer said it was terribly misconfigured particularly when it shutdown his X session and all processes related to it when an OOM condition happened. I am not a Linux admin (or at least a sophisticated one so I can look smart with systemd), but now they are taking cron away too? :D

I kid about this, in a way, and I know I should accept the inevitable, but I feel like just moving to Devuan on my laptop and use a nice init system, like OpenRC :D



Use "halt -fp" if you want to bring your system down in a hurry.

It's best to shut down any databases prior to this.


'Terribly misconfigured' sounds like a bug report should be filed at the distro level, not a complaint about the upstream tool on HN ;-)


Hopefully the author did that :) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33894469
