I've been missing out on the entire discussion. Why are people not happy with systemd?

    Systemd was never popular, Lennart even got death threats during the mainstream transition. Now with age verification someone built a module for it which is trying to ignite the fight again.

    Personally I like systemd I've been using it since Arch switched but I'm disappointed by hard dependencies on it for the big DEs. I'm pleased that people are building alternatives without the curmudgeon dialog like you get with Slackware/Deuvan.
