Beside this I personally don't like that distribution's units, timers, etc. are usually installed into /usr. In past mostly everything which happens on a system could be found in /etc.
If you really find such a system layout attractive, you should quit using a contemporary GNU/Linux userspace and switch to BSD. There, everything is like it used to be 20 years ago, including /etc being the dumping ground for anything and everything
I was not talking about "dumping ground" for everything ... just about config files belong to /etc. I don't need stupid timer/service files like /usr/lib/systemd/system/fstrim.timer and another /usr/lib/systemd/system/fstrim.service which contain only trivial nonsens (e.g: Documentation=man:fstrim) and they even need another 3rd file in /etc to be activated .... Is this really better and easier than just placing a one liner "fstrim -a" into a crontab or into /etc/cron.weekly?
(making things like factory resets unnecessarily hard, but hey, if you want that).
Ah, you mean rm -rf /etc would do a nice factory reset? I doubt it ... All systems where I ever made "Factory resets" had some kind of /rom partitions or overlay file systems. For openSUSE there is a DVD-ROM to do a Factory reset.... I don't see any reason why one would ever do such a "Factory reset" for a normal desktop or server distribution. To revert a system to certain states (not just one useless factory state) we have many techniques like lvm/qemu/snapper snapshots. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
