Upcoming GNOME releases will require systemd for key session features, making it harder for non-systemd distros to keep pace without major patches.

I don't fully understand the hatred for #systemd, but it's going to get a lot stronger with #gnome deciding to double down on it. 
I think this may make the codebase a lot simpler. Systemd is extremely versatile. And covers, well... the system..

@BenBen @fabiscafe @okapi @chesheer I don't deny this to be a problem, far from it.
- In an ideal world, stuff would be portable enough that the underlying
init(andUserlandin general) as well as Kernel didn't matter and merely be a different config file.
In reality, a substantial part of #Gnome devs (or at least contributors) are paid by the 3 major #Linux distros (#RHEL, #SLED, #Ubuntu) and whilst not being antragonistic towards #BSD|s don't get employed to enshure it runs on #FreeBSD, but that it runs better on the distro their employer is selling…
- And given that these projects don't have infinite resources and espechally maintainers I don't blame them to redelegate a lot of work to #SystemD instead of reimplementing something themselves.
OFC it's saddening in regards to non-Linux #Unix-esque OSes, but given self-amplifying network effects both the murder of #OpenSolaris at the hands of #Oracle (with @EUCommission and #FTC as enablers!) and @iXsystems ditching #FreeBSD in #trueNAS alongside regressing #driver support for hardware outside of Linux, #macOS and #Windows, it's not a good time for these projects.
- Which is bad because BSDs and other OSes force Linux to innovate and '
get gud'!
« In 2024, […] we started evaluating the idea of migrating to the public cloud. We have been participating in the #AWS Open Source Credits program for many years and received sponsorship for a set of Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) buckets that we use widely across #GNOME services. Based on our previous experience with the program and the people running it, we decided to request sponsorship from AWS for the entire infrastructure, which was kindly accepted. »

Consider encrypting storage devices with LUKS.
Applications such as GNOME Disks support formatting and encrypting devices with LUKS.
LUKS: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Unified_Key_Setup
Devices such as USB flash drives can be lost or stolen.

@AdrianVovk Hey Adrian, I'm curious if you're familiar with the benefits of software diversity. #GNOME forcing #systemd seems to be at odds with the concept of software diversity.
I really like the #FreeBSD #devsummit presentation given earlier today (2025-06-11) on the topic of OS diversity. I'm wondering if I could ask you to watch it, in the hopes that it inspires you (and the broader GNOME development community).
In a nutshell, software (and hardware!) diversity keeps us safe. Building a software monoculture that requires systemd will inevitably decrease overall security posture.
I understand some of the points you make in your blog post. I fear that if GNOME continues down this path, projects downstream from GNOME (like the BSDs in their ports/pkgsrc trees) will feel undue headaches and burdens.
Can you help address my concerns and fears?

Maybe #Gnome nightlight should have an option to make the temperature gradually warmer with time, after it turns on? Just a thought that just hit me. Thoughts?
GNOME adds dependencies on systemd, lots of work to do for systemd-less environments
GNOME has announced it'll be increasing its dependency on systemd, the popular init system used by most (popular) Linux distributions. While GNOME already had a few relatively inconsequential dependencies on systemd, it was effectively not a huge problem to run GNOME on o

Mad props to @camelCaseNick for successfully implementing the first phase of @philippsauberzweig's proposed solution for GNOME Calendar's general layouts and formfactors design overhaul (see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/1332), a project that has been in the work for many months to solve https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/1007 !
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/542 has landed in the main branch, you can now try it out in the nightly flatpak version.
Just what the doctor ordered, moar systemd.Another glorious thread reminding why Gnome is so awesome (?)
