So what was it now, well for me it was 7 going on 8 years we where
discussing systemd, for me then it was logind and why it was put there,
I was told by Debian that login had a bug and where replacing it. That
wasn't a lie, what they didn't say was our future was to adopt systemd.

Again I ask why, and I'm told it's faster, that was lie and everything
since is built around a lie.

When a Debian fork was discussed I suggested fixing Wheezy, nobody
listened then and there and people in 'this group' that would just like
me to shut up, but at the same time listen to every word I say.

If you want to save Debian Linux you have to put it back to what it was
before the discussion of changing init started. And you have to take a
systemd free version and then bring it up to date, back then it would
have been easier, but it's not to late.

And that is how you are going to save Linux.
