Have you ever heard of mdev? As described in "mdev like a boss"? Or its cousin mdevd from https://skarnet.org/software/ ?

Personally, I wouldn't shit on systemd, because it already stinks like hell, not a nice place to dump :-)

I have. I also have heard it runs into trouble with the likes of GNOME/KDE.

Is this seriously your 'competitor'? I did have a good belly laugh at this one, thanks!

I feel this way about current Gnome/KDE, and the like.

So no real disadvantage for my cozy caveman setup.

Anyways, laughing is good.

Even if it sounds terminally insane.

A caveman may well find that while he was hiding there the outside world no longer dumps in random places.

Is that really the case? I had visions about some place on some far away coast where exactly that seems to be the case.

Sankt Franziskus, or something like that.
