After I found out it is possible to use #Debian Jessie without #systemd I decided it was time to upgrade my old Wheezy (oldstable) system to the latest stable release. As always, the upgrade had been a huge pain in the ass and it's really hard to get the computer to a useful, working state.

First it was difficult to figure out how to get the Grub boot loader to update its config. After that problem was finally solved, it turns out that #tor is not functional and no amount of searching seems to tell me why it is so or how to fix it. Also, for some reason the mouse cursor in X turns invisible after logging in.

I probably should just move to some more functional #GNU -based #free-software operating system. I feel like I've gotten too old to spend days, weeks of even months trying to get my computer working after a system upgrade.
