it doesn't matter what you think you like, or what you think your needs might be - you are just plain wrong. systemd's author knows better than you.
welcome to the new Lennartix mono-culture. your distro will be assimilated.
Can you please refrain from posting crap? (In case it was supposed to be funny, it was pretty lame.) Again, as I said before, journalctl doesn’t prevent you from doing any of that. Your Lennart-bashing is currently based on a strawman. I don’t know about you, but I thought this was pretty straightforward: $ journalctl | vim - $ journalctl | grep SCSI Of course, you can get better niceties by actually taking advantage of some of journalctl’s features (hint: the future looks a lot brighter with your head out of the sand): $ journalctl _EXE=/usr/sbin/sshd $ journalctl _SYSTEMD_UNIT=httpd.service _SYSTEMD_UNIT=mysqld.service Or if you like, combine filtering and grep: $ journalctl _EXE=/usr/sbin/dhclient | grep 'bound to' If you’re still having trouble, maybe you should, dare I say it, RTFM? $ man journalctl
