Mageia forum

I registered just to express my disappointment. I was a long time mandrake, then mandriva, and mageia user. I skipped Mageia 3 because I had everything working so well. Imagine my disappointment when I downloaded Mageia 4.1 and found systemd running. One of the reasons that I loved this system all along was because if you knew what you were doing, you could make it run right. Now that mageia has turned to systemd, I can no longer use it. I'm sorry. I've donated, and when it was Mandriva, I even purchased my distributions to try to help support it. No longer. I'm unbelievably disappointed. Goodbye mageia, i hope you burn.

Hi there, sorry to hear that.

What are the particular reasons why you cannot use Mageia with systemd?

because it uses systemd which is a steaming pile of excrement. I will NOT have it running on my system. It's just that simple. If I wanted Windows, I would have gotten a Microsoft product.

Then good look with your next distro, which is gentoo ? maybe the last one which will switch to systemd

So apart from describing it with fould language, you have no factual arguments against systemd.

Anyways, use whatever distro works best for you. But that's still not a reason to badmouth/curse another.
