Ever since this=20 beautiful thing systemd popped up, I have tried 2 Linux distros for my=20 second box - OpenSuse 42.1 and K Ubuntu 16.10. On OpenSuse, my printer=20 does not work, and under Ubuntu, my APC UPS does not work. Repeated=20 messages to help forums produced no response whatever. If my basic=20 hardware does not work, what was the point of a new thing called systemsd ? This is not just systemd - it is simply too much, way too much choice=20 and no maturity/stability in every thing Linux does. One day they call=20 it eth0, the next they start calling it enp3s0. One day man, the next=20 info. One day they use ext2, the next ext3, the next ext4, and the next=20 btrfs and the next ... God knows. Nobody has good explanations, just=20 fancy ideas when new flux is introduced. When there is so much=20 turbulence at the core, the world will collapse. What killed Unix was, besides the inexorable sums of money AT&T wanted,=20 the unforgiving inclination to create a new distro whenever somebody had=20 learnt the basics of Unix. That endemic has turned to epidemic now that=20 Unix is Open Source Linux. Linux can't ever do the basic things of=20 standardization and documentation at the core level. For hardware that works under FreeBSD, there really is no better choice=20 than to stick to FreeBSD. You could waste some money getting the right=20 hardware, but you have long term peace. Try that under Windows or Linux. Regards Manish Jain
