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.

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
