Fork time? Maybe all the anti-systemd zealots were right all along…

Edit: To address whether it is likely that this change will affect users: Gnome is planning a stronger dependence on userdb, the part of systemd where this change is being implemented. https://blogs.gnome.org/adrianvovk/2025/06/10/gnome-systemd-dependencies/

Final Edit: The PR has been merged into main.

    You mean tied to IDs or something?

    Commercial services would’ve just implemented that anyway. And yeah, likely with “absolute bare minimum effort.”

    I’m still a bit confused. This thread is acting like this is a slope to systemd distros requiring an ID check, if I’m reading it right.

      Yes it’s rage bait and most here fall face first in it.
      Go petition your lawmakers instead of shitting on open source projects implementing required by law features.

          Then incite people to call their legislators. Not openly shit on maintainers of open source projects.
          I see more people here whining about systemd than about having the laws repealed. It’s simple: there are currently 0 posts about that.

            Is it wrong to call out those complying in advance with fascism? I will agitate in any way that sparks debate and encourages people to be more aware of what is at stake. I gain absolutely nothing else, especially on Lemmy… maybe if this was Reddit you could accuse me of being some shill farming karma. But that shit culture doesn’t exist here.

      Anything goes, ID is one way to do it.

      This thread is acting like this is a slope to systemd distros requiring an ID check, if I’m reading it right.

      The post itself is phrased like that for engagement.
