I don't think it's that people are warming to systemd. It's more that there are two kinds of people now: 1. People to young to remember stable software. 2. People who have given up, and just accepted that Linux too "just needs a reboot everynow and then to kinda fix whatever got broken". systemd has normalized the instability of shitty system software. And just like how you don't see front page news every day about 1.3M traffic deaths per year because it's not news, you don't see people up in arms about shitty Linux system software. It's normal now. It didn't use to be. Yes, ALSA is better than OSS, and then PulseAudio and now pipewire. It can do more. But when did it become acceptable to get shit, just because the shit could do more things? Pipewire is not bug free (I have a bug that's preventing me from an important use case), but it's sure more reliable than PulseAudio, while still being more capable. So maybe Pipewire is showing a trend towards coders actually giving a shit?
