Not on _MY_ machine, it doesn't. Long-standing tradition says it
is a bug for a program to fail to clean up after itself in /tmp.
Tell that to systemd...:-)
systemd? Not on this machine!!!!!
A test VM installation of the first Mageia release with systemd
appeared to install okay. However, on first boot, the boot
process got hung up, waited several minutes, reported some
timeouts, and came up with a severely crippled system. IIRC,
not all of the RAIDs were composed, and not all of the
filesystems were mounted. The tools to analyze the binary
registry^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hjournal weren't installed.
Determined to be one of the last people on the planet to use an
init system other than systemd, I switched to Slackware, then to
Debian, and now to Devuan (Beowulf, Chimaera, and now Daedalus).
If it becomes impractical to use Linux without systemd, one of
the BSDs will have to do.
