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 some would say systemd never had the plot to begin with. Over a decade ago it was bad, and in my opinion has only grown more bloated and monolithic since. See https://linuxbsdos.com/2014/09/03/is-systemd-as-bad-as-boycott-systemd-is-trying-to-make-it/
