I've used x200s and SL500s with good results but YMMV, some models have absolute junk for acpi/BIOS like nbsd said.

the surface pro also has a really nice low profile magnetic power connector. better than magsafe imo, and vastly better than usb c or lightning

i just learned that you can have user level daemons with systemd by putting the unit file in ~/.config/systemd/user and then doing systemctl --user enable unit.service. this will make the daemon active as long as there's an instance of that user logged in

systemd is good

I found that out last year but RedHat decided to pull that feature from RHEL 7 because they're awesome. Finding a replacement for that functionality sucks especially as the one I ended up with PM2 is based upon Node.

why is this surprising? launchd has had this forever, systemd is just a knockoff of launchd

yes but nobody gives a gently caress about launchd, because it only runs on a crippled proprietary unix

RHEL7 was released before that feature was added.

There's entire bug tracker entry about it somewhere as to why they pulled the feature. :lol: they closed the case from public view,

Not a normal night anywhere.

Terry is the archetypal old-school Unix admin, nurturing servers with care and precision while avoiding the latest trendy garbage. KDE and Gnome on a server? Nope, if you need a GUI use FVWM.

The latest trend Terry refuses? One adopted almost everywhere? Systemd, the replacement init.

So Systemd comes for Terry.

Bully!
After letting Fedora update whatever it wanted to, GRUB wouldn't load at all.

Booted a live USB thing and it looked like everything was there that should be.

Then I got the idea to turn the secure boot setting on my xxxxxxtreme gamer motherboard from "Windows-UEFI" to "Other-OS" and it works again.

This has been today's GNU/Linux experience.
