Is it the end for linux distros without systemd? Is doomsday near?
Why is this happening? Basically a paradigm shift, millennials (this is a term in the common English dictionary now), are cheap (you know what but I will refrain from using sexist work terminology) like convenience and comfort, luxury and “don’t care, don’t give a …” attitudes. They are willing to try non-systemd distros, but want their flashy desktops, their carchy graphic DMs, they want ALL INSTALLED “apps” to start from cloudy pop-up-menus as users, hw plugged in and functional as soon as pushing the usb plug, they want their browser to display “all webpages” despite of what they ask in return (full access to your /home at least) or want a mail program like thunderbird to chat, use calendar luxuries for their appointment, … and Mozilla is handing them all to IBM for lunch.
