>OpenBSD is simple enough that I performed some fundamental alterations to the boot process without having to reference more than the man pages; contrast with systemd, where such alterations would be nearly impossible. Then use OpenBSD? What's the problem? You know it has a GNOME port? And you do know that it's still trivial to install your own init in Linux, and that you can use elogind on any of them to get GNOME to work? >Why did you assume otherwise? Why did you assume that I'm unwilling to listen? I assumed nothing and I'm not trying condescend you. I asked you a question. I'll ask it again in a different way: Do you want help or not? I was able to figure these things out and I didn't find it complicated at all, maybe I'm just reading different things than you are? I really don't know. But I think you're wrong in what you said earlier, this is not an nearly impossible problem. And it actually gets easier if we help each other, instead of arguing about some absent person's motivations. >it is abundantly clear from what he said that he is going about his goals in bad faith. I could make the same accusation towards you because you seem to be repeatedly trying to discredit some person who isn't even here when it's really not relevant to this discussion at all. Unless of course the goal from the beginning was to discredit someone. In that case, this discussion is over, because like I said earlier, I don't care, none of these people had any "credit" to me to begin with and it doesn't really matter to either of us where someone's "faith" lies. I'm not making that accusation though and I'm not putting words in your mouth, and I don't fault you personally for anything. I was going to try to take those mailing list statements at face value but I just don't think you will be convinced by that after reading TFA. Let it sit for a while, then maybe we can talk about something constructive like how to move forward? I don't know, it's up to you.
