@jmaris@eupolicy.social @kde@floss.social @thechildofroth@mastodon.world Systemd is opinionated about how it does many things and several distros have decided to integrate with its ecosystem more or less tightly.
This can cause considerable friction for those who beg to differ with those default preferences.

@lispi314@udongein.xyz @kde@floss.social @thechildofroth@mastodon.world I don't see how this is an issue? If those who beg to differ have a problem, surely they also have the motivation to build alternatives? That's why projects like Alpine exist?

@lispi314@udongein.xyz @jmaris@eupolicy.social @kde@floss.social @thechildofroth@mastodon.world great summary. If you’re an average desktop user you very likely will never notice or care about systemd. OTOH it does a lot of things (debatably well). Which flies in the face of the Unix philosophy for something very core to Linux as an OS.
