My work machine has now gotten a SSD due to the "systemctl status foo.service" taking ages (and "git status" in kernel trees, too)
For my wife's old machine, I recently bought an IDE-SSD to get it to boot in an acceptabe time frame with current 13.1. That's of course not only systemd's fault, the whole userspace stuff is getting much fatter all the time.
Yeah, let's go back to the DOS times, where there was just 60 or so programs in C:\DOS (something like /bin). Tab completion would complete in a blink — man, where have we developed toward. Well, with SYSV scripts going away thanks to systemd, you save the overhead of interpreting (repetitive) sh code. So now, your boot phase should be more IO-bound, and SSD is a good investment in that regard. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
