Well, in general, a user of software is to me somebody who actually uses it, |
61 |
and doesn't merely have it installed, doing nothing. So since you don't use it, |
62 |
you... don't use it ;) . |
63 |
|
64 |
In this particular case, my understanding from the previous discussion is that |
65 |
UPower expects certain functionality from systemd at runtime (IIRC it doesn't |
66 |
actually *need* systemd, it just assumes that it takes over the same |
67 |
functionality as pm-utils). So, specifically, a systemd user is to me |
68 |
(and probably to most people) somebody who *boots* with systemd. |
