SystemD, not linux, had an opportunity to learn from OpenBSD and actively refused.
- cat199 7y agosystemd didn't even learn from pseudo-systemv in this case - from tfa: "Basically as of now the entropy file saved as /var/lib/systemd/random-seed will not - drumroll - add entropy to the random pool when played back during boot. Actually it will. It will just not be accounted for. So Linux doesn't know. And continues blocking getrandom(). This is obviously different from SysVinit times2 when /var/lib/urandom/random-seed (that you still have lying around on updated systems) made sure the system carried enough entropy over reboot to continue working right after enough of the system was booted."
