Flatpak Will Depend on Systemd

> The current version of Flatpak will continue to see a ton of improvements, but at the same time, the limits of what can be done with its decades-old design have become harder and harder to work around. As such, they’re also planning for and working on what they call Flatpak Next, or perhaps Flatpak 2.0, which is effectively a rewrite of Flatpak based on what they’ve learned over the years, making use of modern technologies

Nit: on "decades-old", Flatpack is from ~2016 only.

At this point the Linux desktop stack has a harder systemd dependency than most people realize, Flatpak was one of the last holdouts.

> From what I understand from Vovk, they were intending to be “super considerate” of distributions and people not using systemd, which I take to mean we’d eventually end up in a situation very similar to systemd-logind, which was extracted from systemd into a separate daemon, elogind, so that distributions using other init systems could still make use of desktop environments depending on systemd-logind

People seem to think it tries and do too much. As a sysadmin I love systemd, especially way more than the init scripts it replaced
