      Actually I’m even using systemd-boot on a systemd-free system as well. As far as I know, while it’s part of systemd, it’s not actually part of the suite. It’s just a bootloader.

      don’t tell me you were predicting systemd would destroy linux and you oppose rust being in the kernel got any other takes for us genius?

        systemd is scope creep cancer for Linux. the fact that an init system is making changes that store user information says enough why systemd is terrible. systemd is a solution looking for a problem to solve.

        rust is a fad language that young devs use as a crutch because they refuse to learn c. the rust devs who are desperate to rewrite the kernel to rust are the embodiment of the problem that systemd exemplifies. they are the problem in search of a solution that nobody asked for.

        in both cases, I couldn’t care less because my opinions don’t reflect me or my personality, they are simply just opinions.

        it seems you mistook me for someone who would feel personally attacked when my opinions are questioned. your dismissive language of a simple comment shows how fragile your ego is and how you require community acceptance to fortify your opinions because they’re based on an emotional bias instead of on observable truths.

      Why would they exactly? Adding an age field would not likely have any impact on a bootloader. Also I’m not really sure what you reactionaries are thinking will happen. That laws will get passed but Linux as a whole will just refuse to follow the laws? It’s a very incomplete thought process you all are stuck in. If the laws get passed, the entire Linux community is not just going to be able to ignore them.

        I don’t like the idea on general, but I agree with the developer whose thread I read that suggested systemd was a good place to store the data so we don’t end up with several layers from kernel to distro publisher to DE trying to roll their own.
