Here we were having "the Dragon Boat Festival".
But we really won't have chances of seeing see dragon boats in major cities.

That's the firmware world and windows compliance world. :)

I checked the post and had no idea about what was going on.
However, my test shows systemd 233 works fine with button.lid_init_state=ignore.
I don't know what has been improved.

But a noticeable thing on old systemd 229 is:
Even with button.lid_init_state=open, systemd still behaves strangely.
It looks systemd 229 really has a problem with its timeout logic.
And in systemd 233, the timeout mechanism seems to work better.

Anyway, the problem disappears when there are only user space changes.

Sure.
