@ryo Now? Has been for a long time, that just makes it official. He pushed the shots too, like Richard Stallman. Hell, even from the fact that he's rich, that can be assumed. If someone makes over a million a year, their chance of being a decent person drops down to almost zero, if not actually zero. Hell, it's almost zero even making over 100k.

By the way, if Stallman saw this, he would seethe about how he's not the one there and how it doesn't say GNU/Linux. Those would be his only problems with it.

@TerminalAutism @ryo I wanted to see what Stallman thinks of the WEF and I found out that he has cited the WEF on his site before, namely how COVID has "undermined the fight against global heating".

@xianc78 @TerminalAutism When it comes to politics, Stallman-san is really an idiot.
That, the whole SoystemD situation, the bloatening of the kernel, the Rustification of everything (Tor, Linux kernel, and now even the Mesa drivers), among others is exactly what makes me consider moving away from Linux and going with BSD instead.

Though I do consider Linux distro's without SoystemD to be still OK for not having the Red Hat cancer in them, but still suffer from all the other problems.
So they basically fixed 1 problem, but still didn't consider fixing the other problems yet.
Only Hyperbola (both the GNU/Linux-libre and BSD versions) seems to be fixing lots of those problems, but again you'll probably need to have a fully libre hardware with 0 blobs in order to be able to use it.

Apparently, his mother was a huge progressive activist which could explain his Bernie-tier views. I really don't care though, as long as he doesn't force it on everyone else (i.e force his own personal political views on the free software movement)

As for using a distro without SystemD, how many programs are actually dependent on it? It's the only reason why I'm reluctant to switch to a non-System D distro.

@xianc78 @TerminalAutism Basically, if you don't need to use Gnome, KDE, or Cinnamon, and are perfectly fine with a DE like Xfce, MATE, LXQt/LXDE, or just about any WM, you shouldn't worry too much about it.
Perhaps if you're running a server and the default package manager doesn't provide init scripts for these, you can easily write your own ones too.

But apart from Gnome, KDE, and Cinnamon, I don't think you'd find any issues anywhere, and even notice a performance boost.

@ryo @TerminalAutism I heard that GTK is dependent on it though.

@xianc78 @ryo I think GTK3 is only dependent on dbus, and even that can be patched out. GTK2 on the other hand doesn't depend on that. Anyway, Hyperbola has purged even dbus from their distribution, and they have GTK3 and also some Qt stuff there, so it can all work without it. And the rest of systemd isn't much of an issue at all, really. If it was, the BSDs would be really screwed, but no.
@xianc78 @TerminalAutism I don't think so, you can run GTK-made software without SoystemD just fine.
I can even.
Though I wouldn't be surprised if they too will cuck over one day, I only expect it to happen seeing how they killed the goldmine that is GTK2 and desperately try to pretend it never happened the moment they released GTK3, but they continue to support GTK3 now that GTK4 is long out.
