    Project mention: Gnome introducing stronger dependencies on systemd | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-06-11

    I admit I'm an edge case, but last year I installed Slackware on my main desktop specifically to escape the clutches of systemd, and by god it feels great to have a working /etc/rc.d again!

    I do use containerised solutions for a few things (e.g. conty[0] for Steam games and a couple of rocm tasks) which probably come with their own systemds.

    KDE is the default desktop and does everything I need. I haven't used gnome for a decade anyhow.
