Convince Debian and Ubuntu to adopt it. If systemd is just evil garbage pushed by RedHat and OpenRC solves all the same issues, they should jump at it.

Gnome depends on it, so that would be challenging. These days I just use alpine for servers where I can.

gnome works on FreeBSD, so that can't be true. It probably uses the logind fork though.

My god the comments in this thread are terrible. How can grown ass adults be so pathetically mean to a single person because he wrote (free & gratis!) software they don't like. Seriously, it's mystifying.

The combination of unbridled arrogance along with the dubious technical merits of your all-or-nothing design decisions, can lead to that; so, hardly mystifying. Why does systemd need to mess with user processes and home directories? It was billed as a replacement for init.

sounds like you never read his actual writings on his actual blog. As far back as 2014, he was talking about building a base layer for linux.

Ok, so they hired Lennaert as replacement, finally!

not so surprised pikachu face https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Systemd-... Good job Lennart destroying Linux from inside.

This is an interesting development, to say the least. If they give him enough power, he can create havoc in Microsoft. Could be fun to watch.
