plasmalogin requires systemd.

As you said, gnome3 requires systemd.

That's just the start.

Remind me again, how many applications that use sound can no longer just use OSS and require Pulseaudio now?

Yeah. I can see the patterns. Can you?

    It was called kFreeBSD, and it was shut down in 2023.

    Part of the problem is that Linux has become far too monolithic, and dependent on Linux-only services and applications.

    There's no systemd on FreeBSD and likely never will be. There were several years of development necessary to implement Wayland, because instead of fixing what was wrong with Xorg, impatient linux developers just threw it out and started over. And wrote it to use Linux kernel syscalls which then have to be copied and implemented across any other operating systems that want to use it.

    Even my beloved KDE is falling into that trap with their new Wayland login manager that depends entirely on systemd. Which is a Linux only thing.
