Systemd is pushing age-gating at the init level, which means the majority of Linux will be age-gated, whether they want to be or not.

Also, Amutable wants to add Android-style attestation to systemd, which means if they get their way, the majority of Linux will be as locked down as Android as far as telling you what and what not to install for apps.

Here's the Lemmy post discussing Amutable.

Goodby Ubuntu (community), you are now Ukuhaha (greed), freeBSD is now non-free BSD, openSuse/closedSuse, Fedora becomes Baseball Cap, Enlightenment WM becomes Samsara WM, etc.

So its time to move to a distro without systemd?

[–] DFX4509B@lemmy.wtf 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That's an option, and one I already took having recently moved to Artix.

[–] Infernal_pizza@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah I think I will. This change alone isn't actually that bad but it shows an eagerness to comply which I can't accept. I'm not sure which distro to choose though, it's probably between Gentoo, Artix and Void

[–] DFX4509B@lemmy.wtf 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

If you're already on Arch, Artix will be easier to move to, although you'll need to enable Arch's [extra] and [multilib] repos to fix any potential dependency issues from some packages not being available in the Artix repos.

And with any Arch install, which also includes Artix, CachyOS, or EndeavourOS, I'll still recommend enabling [chaotic-aur] as it makes dealing with the AUR easier as it offers most of the AUR as precompiled binaries.

Thanks, I think I probably will end up on Artix eventually. I'm going to try Gentoo first just because it interests me though!

Devuan is also a low-friction alt-init option for those who are on Debian, and then of course one could go to Void or Slackware as well.
