You're completely missing the point about "lego". "Lego" in this context |
| 9 |
means small, well defined, interoperable parts with well defined |
| 10 |
interfaces (i.e. "unix"); small means easy to maintain (less complex). |
| 11 |
And if you wish to play it like that: Your system (systemd, pulseaudio, |
| 12 |
bluetooth, diverse gadgetry...) seems much more of a "toy" system to me... |

Not sure why it would be a problem running Xfce without udev support: |

Gnome and KDE *I* couldn't care less about; they're focused more on |
| 21 |
singing and dancing than productivity... |

Alan Mackenzie seems to be able to run it with mdev... |

As complexity grows, bugs will too... which is why the unix concept have |
| 30 |
worked for so long (KISS = "lego"). |
