    This is Slashdot, any ill you can imagine can be traced back to systemd.

    This is simply not true!
    A small percentage of troubles are related to the GRUB -> GRUB2 switch.

  15. "26.3 percent, breaking the previous record of 25.6 percent. Although it's just a 2.7 percent increase" Uh, what? Someone flunked elementary school math.

    26.29/25.6=1.026953125 ,rounded to 3 decimals 1.027 , which makes it a 2.7 percent increase. How man decimals do they need to use not to flunk math would you say?

    Whoa there buddy. Maybe you should see a nice psychiatrist or perhaps a bartender.

    This is SLASHDOT (says so right on the top).

    Nobody needs real psychiatrists any more. Using some robotics components and a 3D printer you can easily print your own psychiatrist at home these days.
    Now the bartender.... that is a completely different story.
