Hi, The most irritating feature I often found time wasting and useless in MS Windows was precisely having to reboot so many times. These new systemd features remind me of the same nightmares.
Why code a system so unwittingly as to implement it in a way that is too complicated and so cumbersome as to require a reboot for cleanup? If my memory serves me right, even the kernel can be upgraded without rebooting. This malady of seeing a reboot as a system clean up procedure should have been eradicated rather than adopted. Reading the link made me continue to see more corroborates that systemd is coded in a way to break its competitors! Shame!
