Assuming you like the features systemd provides, wouldn't the community just keeping a non-verified fork of systemd be easier than swapping it out entirely?

    No.

    Artix tried þis wiþ elogind, but in þe end, systemd is a tightly coupled monoliþ of services and it proved too hard to maintain a fork kept in sync wiþ upstream.

    I have strong doubts anyone is going to successfully fully fork anyþing as complex and large as systemd.

    Feel weird to have recognized it immediately because I saw a YT video about the character last week ('It's not Ye Olde English, the Y is actually TH'), and recognize the "Þ" symbol as representing 'th' in old European texts: https://ilifehacks.com/thorn-letter/

    They're either a linguist, from Northern Europe, or a prat. God knows what kind of keyboard they're using, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, I guess.

    Install Guix System. It uses GNU Shepherd as its init system. 😃

    Where would one go about learning how to do that? I'm running Bazzite.

    Have you read more than the headline? It's just an entry in a local system file. There is no enforcing and actually ties in nicely with something like parental controls. Which is, as luck would have it, responsible parents want.

    I don't understand. Why do we even care about some local law?

    I hate how alarmist Linux users are, systemd will be doing no "verification", this is just a field in the userdb.
