Hey @kde with the recent birthdate field being introduced into systemd and the lead developer being obnoxiously stupid about it, Plasma desktop relying more on systemd feels wrong.

Given the circumstances, I urge you to please reconsider systemd dependency on KDE platform and if possible, please think of alternatives.

When you said X11 is getting axed from the codebase, I was ok with because Wayland has improved significantly over the years and offers more almost all the functionality from X11; systemd is different.

This post is an attempt to make my case as a (happy and satisfied) KDE Plasma user for few years so please think again about getting in bed with that project.

@shanmukhateja no, your statement is wrong, bordering indeed on #FUD...

Plasma desktop relying more on systemd feels wrong

#KDE have explicitly blogged about this false information in recent weeks. it is only the new #SDDM replacement, #PlasmaLoginManager, that needs #systemd as a dependency... NO other #Plasma pkgs depend on systemd at all. given that PLM is entirely optional, ie, users can choose not to install it, can keep using SDDM, or other login managers, the statement that was being mentioned online by peeps either from ignorance or malice, is simply incorrect .
