So I tried out #LinuxMint with the default Cinnamon Desktop for the last few days. It was quite nice. I would recommend it for those new to Linux. The desktop is sweet perfection, like #XFCE.

But sound did not work on my new laptop. Updating the kernel and found what seems like every possible bug with Linux Mint. Now I have no wireless AND no sound. For some reason, I can't get into the Grub boot menu to revert changes. Gone are the days when I can simply edit a text file for boot order and init.d startup. Searching forums and two days of debugging and reinstalling, trying to work with the #systemd and #initrd layers made me give it up. Seems like modularity between systems got tangled up like cold spaghetti in the fridge overnight.

#FreeBSD it is. #UNIX my old friend, you have always been loyal and true. At least I can fix what I break. Downloading now.

@dirkdierickx @jnkrtech +1 for system jobs. Learn about #systemd and create systemd jobs. Restart works simple with 'systemctl restart servicename.service' and you can see the services output via 'journalctl -xeu servucename.service'.

@monospace

This right here is one of the “killer features” of #systemd.
