  For now, but the writing on the wall seems clear. > The focus of the KDE team is clear, as stated in the referenced Reddit thread, where a KDE developer replies that the goal is to rely on systemd for more tasks in the future. This means that PLM is just the first step. https://hackaday.com/2026/02/02/kde-binds-itself-tightly-to-systemd-drops-support-for-non-systemd-systems/ https://hackaday.com/2026/02/02/kde-binds-itself-tightly-to-...

    Hackaday, and you, omit the last sentence in the comment they quote: “The compromise is going all in contained areas where alternatives exist.”

      I hope that's true, and remains true. I mean, this is not exactly the most important issue in the world. I love KDE and hope it remains usable to me, but if things keep going as a fear, there are other DEs that I can live with.
