You mean, you use the system in some non-standard way?
You mean, like, a simple linux dual boot?
So, your deviant choices are ok, but hers are not?
The problem is, Yast (and so many other automagic tools) are optimised/tested for the simple, basic case. As soon as you try to do anything beyond that, you end up fighting the tool.
Correct. That is precisely her (and mine for that matter) perpetual observation of the entire distro since the mid 11.x days. Or even 10.x days. But when a problem is pointed out, all we get are dismissive jokes about "dead kittens", instead of actually addressing the problem that was pointed out, if the cause of the problem is one of the darling new hotness projects everyone must love or else be spit on as stupid old dummies who clearly are just befuddled by all this new fangled stuff and just can't figure it out and just don't like change. One wonders how they ever found themselves in sysadmin and developer and CTO positions. Must be nepotism or something. Only possible explaination why anyone could possibly say anything bad about systemd, plymouth, graphical grub, kernel drm, dracut, huge initrds with X in them, dbus, pulseaudio... None of them have any invalid core precepts, merely ordinary technical blemishes to be ironed out by *helpful* *constructive* people who don't go around saying awful things like "Uh, this is fundamentally a bad idea. There is no right way to do a bad idea..." ;) -- bkw -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
