Seriously, if Apple copy Microsoft with a stunt like this, that'd be my cue to buy a Framework laptop and switch 100% to Linux for work.

(Which would be enormously painful as Scrivener isn't supported on Linux and it's been my work platform for the past 15 years.)

NB: only distributions with X.org ranther than Wayland and sysv init instead of systemd need apply.

@cstross at this stage systemd is an old, stable building block for most linux systems. if you don't demand to tear out launchd from macosx, why would you care what does precisely the same job on linux?

ditto with wayland, which, by the way, is developed by the same people who worked on x(free|org). regarding xwayland – how frequently do you use quartz's x server on macosx? xwayland it's like that, but much better integrated than xquartz.
