Are we really that nostalgic about the dark ages?

Well, I am. I liked the '80s when I was a high priest, hwreas today I am just a tech. I also prefer my personal computers to be personal, and the OSes, Internet, DRM and security issues are taking a lot of that away.

I administer a software development server farm, Linux and Windows and BSD UNIX and MacOS and Solaris etc. I have to fight with the stupid broken crap called systemd on a daily basis. The last thing in the world that I need is for Linux to become fundamentally incompatible with all my other systems because somebody who can’t keep their hands to themselves is going to mess with how the home directories are managed across the network.

Arrrrgh!

So, Linux is finally catching up to Windows, which has had a hierarchical user metabase (Active Directory) and portable home folders (roaming profiles) for 25+ years.

(Disclaimer: I have been a Slacker for almost 20 yrs.)
--- but have done my fair share of multi boot distro hopping but I took Mint (I consider the best of the _untus.) after systemd And found it to be unstable so no more systemd for me.
So for all you whiners that for years have been wishing Linux was more like Windows.

TaDa!!!!

happy rebooting.

As a user of Slackware, systemd isn't even an issue.

“Unixy.” Me likee. I’ll have to start using that instead of UNIX-like, *NIX or Un*x.
