> worrying signs have been growing there as well

Care to elaborate?

My comment was too harsh to Debian. Debian has been good to me, and is the best distro I've used.

But their adoption of systemd is something that makes me worried for the future. It's still avoidable for now, but the writing is on the wall.

systemd is great

Meh. SystemD makes me nervous. One system that does so much and can rewrite my BIOS. I may have to just go back to VMS.
