Not even that - they're defaulting to X in the LTS release. It's the people paying for LTS support who are conservative rather than Ubuntu. Maybe it cuts down on a few support tickets. I doubt Wayland is going anywhere, or that come 18.10 it'll back to being the default again
Use your head and see if you can guess how the cops would identify the perp. I'll give you a clue - it's much the same way as cops staking out a bank determine who the robbers are.
About 6 years ago, a lot of candy bar style phones had a built-in FM radio tuner. Normally you had to plug in a set of headphones to act as an antenna. And that begs the question how they intend to get adequate reception if they remove the earphone jack.
At best you get a shitty censored dial up quality connection. At worst the Norks are packet sniffing everything coming from every single device that connects and helping themselves to anything of value that they can exploit while you sit there.
Then you get a bigger switch, a draw string with a triangular pull handle at one end, or even a motion sensor. The sort of thing that has been perfected for years in assisted living facilities, adapted living situations. None of which requires speaker/microphones arranged throughout the house, smart bulbs, or a wifi connection.
I wonder why the elderly, or anybody thinking this through, would prefer to enunciate "Ok google, turn the bedroom lights on", so that the device (close enough to hear this command) can process the words over the internet and instruct a bunch of smart bulbs to wake up and light up.
Instead of just flicking a switch.
And that's assuming it works and everything magically configures itself, which never happens.
People are so fucking stupid. Bad enough they inflict this on themselves, but their elderly relatives? Dear god. These devices deserve to go the way of the dodo.
I suggest if you're struggling to remember a command (you are an administrator right?) that you simply make an alias. Or do the other things I suggested. Make systemd dump out a text file if you are absolutely incapable of learning a new command.
LOL, extremely difficult to migrate. If that's your big concern then don't migrate. Stay put. Use RHEL 6 or whatnot and stay there for as long as you like. And if you do migrate then tweaking a script to be launched by systemd instead of upstart or sysvinit is most likely the least of your concerns. In the real world, it is far more likely you're worried about preserving your database, your users, your network mount points and so on.
Wrong. The journal is easier to search since you can pass time ranges and other filters to journalctl and get back only those events. The journal can also detect corruption and tampering because entries can be forward signed. Something any competent admin would very much like to have.
Though perhaps you struggle to type "journalctl" instead of "tail/var/log/messages" to see text on your console?
And if you're desperate to have a text log in addition to, or instead of a journal you can just set it up to forward messages to a traditional syslogger, or just dump text using a chron job.
So in summary, no it doesn't complicate anything. It provides functionality that a text log doesn't have but if you absolutely must have a text log you can do that too.
The really super-stupid part is that many dists didn't jump straight from sysvinit to systemd in the first place. Most had already switched to upstart and switched again to systemd because it was seen as superior again.
Most of the flames about systemd are just irrational and / or trolling.
The situation for Apple was a little different because they basically killed the Motorola CPU product line so people had no choice to upgrade. But they also made the transition relatively painless with good emulation, "fat" binaries and a performance bump to incentivize people to shift over.
It's not even the first time for Windows has tried though either. Microsoft ported Windows NT to some other CPU architectures. The version for DEC Alpha had x86 instruction set emulation built into it. Not sure how well it ran, but clearly it didn't convince anybody to move off the x86 instruction set.
Even if it worked perfectly, there is little be gained for the majority of users from emulation. At best they get functioning but slow emulation. Windows software is so intractibly tied to x86 that as a precursor Microsoft really need to change their toolchains to target something like LLVM instead. Let people build an architecture neutral executable which is compiled on first invocation to the host architecture.
Chromecast is Google's streaming device. Amazon stopped selling it when they developed their own equivalent device. Same for Amazon tablets, which are running a ripped off / forked version of Android tied to Amazon's own appstore ecosystem.
So it's understandable why they might be close to war with each other.
Reverse implies a return to health, a cure. The study actually discovered people could put diabetes into remission which means the disease is on hiatus but it could come back. Important distinction.
Since 80% of type 2 diabetes is caused by obesity, the simplest way to avoid it is not be fat. It's mostly a self inflicted disease. If someone can follow a calorie restricted diet to put diabetes into remission, then maybe they have the willpower to not eat so much and exercise more and not get in that situation in the first place.
There are benefits to a functioning health system even for capitalists. They like a healthy workforce and they don't like paying for massive health insurance plans to incentivize people to join their company.
In the UK very few companies offer health insurance as a perk because people pay out of their taxes for it. And since everyone pays into the system, and the system itself is not for-profit, the "premium" is far less per capita too.
You enter an order into the store's system. The computer knows how many orders are ahead of it. The computer knows how long it should take to prepare the pizza, how long it should take in the oven, how long it should take to box it, how many delivery drivers are working, how many have clocked in through the door, how many deliveries are ahead of your pizza, how far roughly your house is from the store and long it should take to get there.
Then the computer makes an ESTIMATE based on adding up those values and your pizza resides in a particular state according to how long the chain it is. Is it "smoke and mirrors"? No because the estimate will usually be accurate assuming the system is working, traffic is usual, the driver doesn't get lost etc.
And like any system it's only as good as its inputs. Maybe "Melinda" is some dude, or Melinda doesn't like the "app truther" creep who tracks her online and swapped deliveries, or its maybe just the person who logged in that day. Maybe the driver did get lost. Maybe the pizza order got screwed up and so the tracking is out of whack with reality. Does that render the system worthless for the 99% of the time that it works as intended? Of course not.

The clue is in those letters. Wayland isn't going to stop being the focus going forward, irrational hate for it notwithstanding.

Get the cops or private detectives to run a bait bus up and down the route and if somebody attacks it they arrest / detain the perp.
Throw this asshole in prison. He deserves the maximum sentence under law.

Personally I wouldn't use either because I don't really appreciate behemoths hoovering up all my web activity.

This isn't hard.

If you don't like journalctl, then do what I said. Configure it to dump a text file. Big deal. People moaning about this are supposed to be sysadmins.
I love how I'm modded down for pointing out the facts.
Yeah sure. I can also do away with a database by chaining together heaps of commands to filter a text file. Doesn't mean it is a sensible thing to do.
Write an alias or script. Is this even supposed to be a serious argument?
I suggest if you're struggling to remember a command (you are an administrator right?) that you simply make an alias. Or do the other things I suggested. Make systemd dump out a text file if you are absolutely incapable of learning a new command.
Yeah sure that's it. Just get back to me when people whining about systemd come up with a coherent compelling argument.

No it doesn't. As evidenced by the all distributions successfully using it and conspicuously not dropping like flies.
