Dec 26, 2020 at 19:25 comment added Matthew Sharp @maxschlepzig Yes I did. My comment was probably a bit non-specific, but it would help if you were more specific about what is misleading in my comment.
Dec 25, 2020 at 16:22 comment added maxschlepzig @MatthewSharp your comment is misleading. Did you even read the link you posted?
Dec 24, 2020 at 4:48 comment added Matthew Sharp This answer is misleading. /run exists because /var/run was the wrong location, and most distros either symlink or bind mount them to each other. They are not intended to be separate directories; /run is the correct location, /var/run is kept around to support legacy software. See lwn.net/Articles/436012 for the motivation behind it.
