Re: Recommended way to disable/enable services?

Re: Just saw dolphin's blog post on systemd-shim

systemD is definitely not something I want to see between me and the kernel... :bagoverhead:

And really wish MX Linux would stop supporting it... not to debate, just delivering my opinion. :biggrin:

Re: Countdown from 100 --> #1

The DistroWatch numbers really doesn't mean anything... or at least they shouldn't.
