Fun fact: Fedora (or was it RHEL?) stock SELinux policy blocks changing the default runlevel via systemctl set-default. What an oversight

anarki2 i literally on Fedora 31 earlier today, changed the default target.

it never happened to me. Any reference to a bug report?

Opposed to being on Fedora 31 figuratively? I found this issue for Fedora 30, but I did not experience it myself while using Fedora 30: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1731768

Not sure what fun fact anarki2 is talking about.

The reference is my memory from 2 weeks ago. Like I said, it was Fedora OR RHEL.

well, I use both so if it was one or the other is not all that important

Then you have to believe me I guess.

I never said that I don't trust you! I was genuinely curious just because I've been a long time user and never saw something like that!

Not a fan of systemd nor likely wayland, although intrigued by Fedora, systemd significantly complicates init.

I prefer the standard common Linux init, etc. Keep it simple. Make it complicated, and it's going to be exponentially more difficult to fix when it breaks.
