Re: Is Your GNU/Linux System Bloated? Check This.

Of course, the main culprit, again, is the abominable systemd.

Of course, once again you proved that what you are fighting against is
very good. With systemd, you can know what has been started and why. If
it's running, you can know why, if it's not running, you can know why
too.

When sysvinit launch things and don't care about it after that. So, when
you are sure sysvinit launches something at start and that something
isn't running when you are looking for it, you have no idea why.

Systemd, and its creators/maintainers, should be... I won't say it.

No, you can't because it would be a good thing and you can't acknowledge
good things.

On my hybrid Gentoo/LFS customized and optimized GNU/Linux I have
only one single solitary service running and that is udevd, but even
that is not strictly necessary.

Yes, I know, the only thing you can do with Linux is compile your
kernel. And it fails more often than not.

Check how many services that you have running and prepare for a shock.

I don't need you to know what's running on my computer. I have more
services on my computer than you on your computer. It's not a surprise
because unlike yours my computer is usable. Some services launched by
Ubuntu/Mint are useless in most of the cases, agreed, but I'm not
running Ubuntu/Mint.
