Rather odd attitudes seem to be at the root of this. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/665789
WTF is wrong with ubuntu and gnome and kde devs? have they all been infected by microsoft or apple? or are they all just stupid? don't they get that a half-arsed imitation of MS and Apple crap ISN'T going to attract MS or Apple users to linux, it's just going to piss off existing linux users? what is so difficult to understand about the fact that linux desktops aren't (or weren't until recently) user-hating patronising crap is one of the reasons linux users actually use linux. and seeing "See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available." for every new and amazing piece of crap is really pissing me off. they want to fuck with the way unix systems boot and work and couldn't even be bothered writing the documentation so i, and other victims of their meddling, can figure out WTF they have done?
