Devsummit Day 2, Sept. 25, 2025
Shawn Webb@AdrianVovk Hey Adrian, I'm curious if you're familiar with the benefits of software diversity. #GNOME forcing #systemd seems to be at odds with the concept of software diversity.
I really like the #FreeBSD #devsummit presentation given earlier today (2025-06-11) on the topic of OS diversity. I'm wondering if I could ask you to watch it, in the hopes that it inspires you (and the broader GNOME development community).
In a nutshell, software (and hardware!) diversity keeps us safe. Building a software monoculture that requires systemd will inevitably decrease overall security posture.
I understand some of the points you make in your blog post. I fear that if GNOME continues down this path, projects downstream from GNOME (like the BSDs in their ports/pkgsrc trees) will feel undue headaches and burdens.
Can you help address my concerns and fears?

@kta @joel support for CUDA and other tech that uses GPUs (AI workloads) was a point of discussion at the #FreeBSD #devsummit. It sounded like it will likely become a reality over the next few years, for either the 15.0 or 16.0 release.
