It didn't really function a few years ago when I tried it. > And this KDE discussion brings into sharp focus my real gripe about > systemd: I can use any distro I want in a KDE-free configuration.

The problem is that changing distros won't help because they all depend on systemd. Gentoo probably doesn't create its own versions of all kinds software depending on systemd for not to depend on it, does it? And who knows what kind of problems you run into when you switch to some BSD. Are there NVIDIA drivers for some BSD?

Unlike KDE, it does exactly what I want, doesn't get into my way and is much less buggy. Why would I use KDE? -- Knowledge is volatile and fluid.
