This is what people have been trying to get through to you, if you run
debain jessie, you 'HAVE' to use systemd whether you want to or not.
Systemd seems to insist on controlling everything and will not tolerate
any other init system, if you don't want to use systemd but do want to
to use gnome3, well tough, you cannot. Can you answer why a desktop
relies on an init system, because I cannot. I can understand why parts
of the desktop rely on something like udev, but this has now been
subsumed by systemd. If systemd had just been a replacement for sysv or
upstart etc, then there would not have been all the row about it, those
that wanted to use it could have and those that didn't, didn't have to,
but no, because of the way it is taking over the established way of
doing things, you are denied the free choice of what init system to use!
It is LPs way or no way, and the number of things he has broken and
refused to fix, well it is just arrogance on his part.
