Mozilla in recent releases is making it really hard for non-systemd distros to comply. Fake non-systemd distros using udev and elogind out of the latest systemd don’t seem to have a problem.…
Right. What’s stopping anyone from maintaining the ONE PURE SYSTEM-FREE DISTRO ™? If it’s -that- much of an issue, surely there’s enough of a userbase to justify maintaining such a distro and suite of apps? We’re running an operating system whose very foundation exists due to forks and splits… some of which went on to be extremely popular defaults. Instead we get an insufferable rant blaming millennials for everything. Literally. Author blames millennials for Firefox, Librewolf and Thunderbird apparently expediting the death of non-systemd setups.
And then we have a spiel about Chrome… “which is a violent security violator bootstrapping itself deep into the base system”… oh lord. Yeah. Someone forgot to take his meds. We’re about one step away from someone asking him where on the Android plush doll the author touched by the Big Bad Google Man in a Trenchcoat.
Angry old man angry that the world hasn’t remained exactly the same for his benefit alone.

Nothing. Actions have shown that distro maintainers overwhelmingly prefer systemd because it’s way easier to maintain than sysv init (from what I hear anyways). I’d put money on the author of the blog not being a distro maintainer - just some guy that complains on the internet.

Damn, You weren’t kidding. the article would be comical if it weren’t so worrying for his mental state.
