GNOME and systemd are funded almost completely by Red Hat and their biggest contributors are full-time Red Hat employees.
GNOME does not run at all without systemd.
Even the biggest Linux distros, like Gentoo, struggle to create a patchset to modify GNOME so it does not require systemd; every new version of GNOME takes months to reach Gentoo stable. Most distros have bent the knee and switched to systemd because they had no other option, as GNOME is the most used Linux desktop so they kinda call the shots.
- esarbe 7y agoRrrrraaiiight.. Because it's sooo much easier to switch a whole distrubution to a new init system instead of.... Just providing a replacement library for the library that the systemd maintainers took on the burden of maintaining. Right! Dude, you sound like a conspiracy nut. It's constantly amazing to what length of self-delusion systemd haters are willing to go. Just. Woah.
- SahAssar 7y agoIf the changes are so bad and the maintainers are ignoring proper concerns why not use one of the forks?
