@GlitchGhost @itsfoss Mint is built on systemd and systemd is charging full steam ahead on complying in advance. Mint has experimented with rebasing on Debian to escape Canonical's clutches, but they haven't even tried getting rid of systemd at all yet as far as I know.

Honestly that's the biggest problem. Most Linux systems rely on something that was already fundamentally way out of scope and that thing itself has decided to do this...
