The desktop linux dudes sure do pick weird topics to get excited about.
First it was cold boot time, resulting in the hilarious neverending clown rodeo that is systemd.
Then it was that they didn't understand IPC, so it was the gloriously undesigned protocol 'dbus' which has to get wedged into the kernel because the user space version is so bad that it's useless.
Now it's that there's a number of config files in /etc? And so we should take that number down to zero, because reasons?
Can't wait for them to discover that bytes are 8 bits, rather than a more pleasing 5 or 10.

- digi_owl 11y agoAnd then spend a minute watching the unresponsive desktop because all the deferred daemons being started?
- Shorel 11y agoNot really. I click on Skype and it's three seconds until all contacts appear, and those seconds can be blamed on the network. The only thing that loads slowly is Chrome with my 50 open tabs, and I don't think it's the fault of the OS. In the same hardware what you describe actually happens every time with Windows 7 (I can't upgrade the Windows version, corporate policy) and it's a really annoying process.
