Personally I am blaming systemd. It appeared to me that it was
99.99% of the console grief I was seeing.
All distro's should give the option of fallback to OpenRC init for
those that don't want to run Gnome3 .. systemd is nothing but a pain
in the ass
People who use userspace crocks like udev and systemd simply don't know how to use the kernel. And the /sbin/init itself may be as simple as
#include <signal.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(void)
{
sigset_t set;
int status;
if(getpid() != 1)
return 1; /* change to running /etc/rc with given arguments if you need */
sigfillset(&set);
sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, &set, NULL);
if(fork())
{
for(;;)
wait(&status);
}
else
{
sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK, &set, NULL);
setsid();
setpgrp();
return execve("/etc/rc",
(char *[]){"rc", NULL},
(char *[]){NULL});
}
}
