![]() Three signs that Wayland is becoming the favored way to get a GUI on Linux.Which, of course, they never will, because Windows is hibernated and your machine is currently booted into Linux instead… so your computer fails to boot. Worse still, if you list your NTFS partitions in your /etc/fstab file, systemd will pause and wait for them to become available. The snag with this is that if you dual-boot with Linux, the Windows partition is still technically mounted by the sleeping Windows kernel… so you can't mount it in Linux. When you turn the computer back on, instead of reloading the entire operating system, the Windows kernel wakes from hibernation, then either shows the login screen – or just logs you in and starts up as normal. Instead it logs you out, shuts down all the user's processors, and then hibernates. With it enabled, when you shut down a Windows machine, it doesn't fully shut down. One is Windows' Fast Startup, which debuted way back in Windows 8. This distinctly reminds us of two features. It shuts down all userland processes – that is, everything "above" the level of the kernel – mounts a new root filesystem on /run/nextroot/, starts a new systemd instance in there, and then hands over control. This feature should deliver much faster system reboots so long as you don't need to restart your kernel. ![]() If you're not a system administrator, the new soft-reboot may well be what you notice most. Your Reg FOSS vulture is very happy he hasn't had to edit an init script in many years, and does not miss such things even one tiny bit, but all the same it's going to irk some people. ![]() Also, systemd's remaining limited support for System V init scripts – such as the systemd-sysv-generator tool – is going away. ![]()
