systemd lost the plot a long time ago. they stopped following the Unix philosophy and now they're busy adding nonsense like age verification. Just like Firefox, systemd doesn't understand its core user base. There are plenty of distros without systemd

@nixCraft It really has been taking a very wrong direction for quite some time. Lots of bloat and unnecessary components, poor standards, etc etc.

Apparently OpenRC is a really good alternative, but it comes at the catch that a lot of stuff is built to call systemd a dependency and will claim it can't work without it. *Sigh* Hopefully all this will result in a general switch away from that hot mess and proper support from everything for, well, anything else...

@nazokiyoubinbou @nixCraft this is one reason I'm really happy that OpenRC-based Alpine Linux is seeing wider adoption. It's often used as a base for docker images and VPSs (I also use it on a VPS). Hopefully this leads to wider adoption of OpenRC and other unit systems

@tarix29 @nazokiyoubinbou @nixCraft I run Alpine on my tablet. Its very lightweight and you can install a normal DE. Ive just installed KDE which has good touch support.
