I reported this 8 years ago. I was brushed aside (which is not a solution, of course), then moved from systemd to GNOME, and years later it was reopened. Is there a solution now? Do we now have a systemd default configuration that avoids this problem? Was there any move to at least increase the restart interval for systemd services that keep failing? Was there at least a local solution for GDM not restarting forever in a one-second interval; which is completely pointless to begin with?
