You are confused, some complicated black box may be fine for a desktop to make easy to use for non-tech user, but production servers are different matter. That's where experienced admins do not want nor need such a thing.

In other words, we have launchd for mac osx and that's fine for the desktop/mobile consumer, but not how a BSD admin wants to boot his BSD server.

A desktop system, perhaps one that is intended to appeal to non-tech audience, might be a good use for systemd. But a production servers, where quick troubleshooting to a mission critical system is a crucial requirement, does not need a massive and complex black box that requires many moving parts. That's what is bad about systemd, needless complexity in the boot process.

haha, under what president was the EPA created? and the Clean Air Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, the Environmental Pesticide Control Act, and the Endangered Species Act become law? DDT banned? why Tricky Dicky Richard Nixon, of course.

HW Bush made Clean Air Act tougher and that reduced acid rain and smog at the time

  Obama is for fracking, some key Democrats just pulled support for anti-fracking laws, Obama allowed starting drilling in sensitive arctic areas, Obama caved in and didn't allow new smog/ozone levels as being too expensive on industry (even though Bush in 2008 made tough new ground level ozone/smog standards)

You're not very tech savvy if you mention "grep", that utility has been in various operating systems since 1973. MS-DOS 2.x called it FGREP or FIND depending on version. Macs have grep.

I did zero work having Linux Mint recognize my NVIDIA card, sound system, wireless....maybe you should research a system's support for Linux rather than plopping it on something (usually full of cheap "win-devices")

Comment Re:performance never measured in MHz (Score 1) 151

Nothing you have said reinforces your mistaken notion that MHz ever measured performance. I've already shown that is not true even between Intel processors. You only believe an urban legend, a myth, a falsehood was true. Those of us who did measure performance of machine over the past four decades used benchmarks.
