kdbus is for systemd...  its a kernel space dbus implementation instead of pure userspace.  =)

Just a personal note: who is the genius who thought this would be a good idea? Exploiting the kdbus service would mean exploting the kernel I suppose... <_<

systemd=coup d'??tat of Linux.

 

How can people be so naive? It's obvious what the goal is and it's not to make Linux better. Quite the opposite.

Eventually the kernel will just be another systemd service, eh?
