     @me @vascorsd Imagine you had an older computer without secure boot! Imagine a device you need to flash a kernel to! Imagine you wanted to put a custom kernel on a device! Guess what! No distro will work now because they're all run by systemd people.

     @silverwizard @vascorsd This is almost enough to make me consider switching to BSD.

     Distro hopping is enough of a pain in the ass.

     @silverwizard Interestingly enough, I can't see the linked post from my server.

     @trashheap @vascorsd Yeah, and yeah. I am very glad I switched to OpenBSD as my daily driver before this all kicked off. But Linux is still valuable in a bunch of places and .... gaaaaaaaah

     @silverwizard @vascorsd Sometimes, systemd adds features, which are not embraced uniformly across the entire Linux distro ecosystems. Hopefully this is one of them...

     ALSO luckily there are a few non systemd linux distros still hopping.
