    mesa and linux is also “uber projects” i think in certains canes you can’t run away from them, systemd is the same, but for privilegiated processes that need to be well integrated for security reasons

      While I agree that sometimes Uber projects happen, for efficiency or security reasons, I don’t think that Mesa is a good example as they have a scope (implement the OpenGL/Vulkan API) and stick to it.

      Systemd is already confusing because of it referencing two different projects, and the overarching systemd projects scope just increases on a regular basis without what appears to external observers as a plan.

        Is journald still binary? That alone made me turn away. I am using PCLinuxOS hence am systemd free. Stopped reading up on it.
