There are other changes that some folks don't like. Btw. I know
Photoshop users using old versions of Photoshop, because they run into
similar issues.
However, at the moment Linux comes with one negative surprise after the

while not using systemd (perhaps not Debian) etc.. Upstream is
disconnected from the user base.
