Not to mention that they locked the unpopular pull request from reactions.
Oof, I might have to figure out another distro that doesn’t use Systemd, given that it is very common to find on most Linux distros. I wonder if I will jump the shark to FreeBSD or perhaps learning NixOS to declare the banishment of Systemd from my system.
I’ve been reading about that myself…There are people trying to build an alternative init system for NixOS, looks like that effort is a long battle. FreeBSD could be a very hit or miss prospect for me, as I’d need to confirm the hardware support before making the jump. I have a 2021 PC, my general hardware would be supported in theory…The NVIDIA and Wayland support would make or break my choice, as I don’t want to use smelly X11. It’s time to move on from that antiquated display server.
Likely the easiest course of action will be forking systemd. At least we can also stop the AI slop the main contributor also likes, rewrite it in some more maintainable language (not necessarily Rust - languages more close to C like D or C3 could ease porting and make C devs happier), etc.

NixOS is very tightly coupled to systemd, though there are efforts to change that

There’s always TempleOS.

Why fork, when there are better inits?
Many things rely on systemd way too much…
Then upstream instead:
