That sounds like a perfectly fair attitude to have. Although the change may require a little thought, I really think SystemD will not suddenly make Arch difficult to use, though. Is that what you're worried about? -- Sent from my phone. Please excuse my brevity. Ralf Mardorf <ralf.mardorf@alice-dsl.net> wrote: On Tue, 2012-08-14 at 14:51 +0100, Paul Gideon Dann wrote:

USERS? I'm a stupid user. I guess you're talking about experts. For "USERS" it's hard to follow changes every half year. We stupid users simply want to use the computer. We are willing to learn, but we won't start from the beginning, every half year.
Cool, so once you're set up with systemd, you should find it easier to work with. As for change, I'm afraid that's inevitable in ArchLinux, because it's intended to be a cutting-edge distro. If you don't like the change, you really need to consider switching to something less hands-on. I hear that OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is a viable rolling-release option. And I think Mint Debian Edition is also rolling-release?

I'm from Germany, so I started with Suse and I still have an outdated Suse installed. Suse doesn't fit to my needs. I tested Mint and Mint doesn't fit to my needs. Arch did and still does fit to my needs. I just fear that soon Arch won't fit to my needs. I'm not objective, I just care about my needs. This is selfish, I'm aware of this. However, why shouldn't I take care of my needs? I also work on a voluntary basis. I fight for the rights of others, but I also fight for satisfying my needs. That's all. Regards, Ralf
