Hundreds of thousands of Computers won't be able to upgrade to Windows 11, but that shouldn't make them eWaste.

Kudos to the @kde team for this amazing initiative!

@jmaris @kde I followed this through to distrochooser and took their survey out of interest (happy with Debian already, really).

Why is systemd seemingly a bone of contention/ showstopper for some people? (What even is systemd?)

@thechildofroth @kde I personally have never understood the hate for systemd. I think people are upset about feature creep, but honestly, I personally can't get excited or angry about a service manager.

@jmaris @kde @thechildofroth 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 @jmaris @kde @thechildofroth 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.
