  • Our current understanding having spoken to systemd developers is that we should be able to find a path that brings us much closer to upstream, if not entirely.

    The only way the systemd developers will allow musl support upstream is if musl supports the glibc-isms that systemd uses.

    They have been extremely clear that they will not carry patches for other libcs.

    One of the largest benefits of having a clean architecture is increased velocity and extensibility. What’s the point in nitpicking over perfection when it takes literally years to merge a feature, arguably one considered basic and essential by today’s standards?

    KDE is on the other side of this pendulum, integrating everything and resulting in a disjointed, buggy disaster.

    Where’s the middle way? It used to be XFCE. What is it now?
