I do have my issues with Poetteringware (since avahi), but my experience is that it had pretty good docs. Disappointed. > Well, I don't remove it because it can be useful.

Firefox itself can't (unless it is started with extra capabilities (CAP_SYS_NICE,I think). Thus the roundabout via DBus and (possibly) rtkit. > > [2] Phew. No DBus around here.

The only real limitation actually is no Bluetooth, because Bluez insists on a brain dead architecture which replaces plain old lib interface with DBus calls. The others... well. No "Desktop Environment": duh, I don't enjoy those. Pulseaudio and Systemd don't want to play with me -- I don't want to play with them either, not on my daily driver. The browser has gone gaga and *wants* Pulseaudio: there's apulse for that (thanks, Rinat Ibragimov!). All I learn about those is when trying to help others keep their system afloat (yes, for someone coming from the Dark Side and not wanting to tinker, something like Gnome or Mate does make sense).
