Description:
The postmarketOS project, which produces
a Linux distribution for phones and mobile devices, has announced that it is in the early stages of adding systemd to make it easier to support GNOME and KDE. Users who prefer the OpenRC init system are assured they will still have that option when building their own
images " as long as OpenRC is in Alpine Linux (on which postmarketOS is
based) ": As with text editors, some people are really passionate about their favorite init
systems. When discussing this announcement, please keep a friendly tone. Remember
that we all share the love for free and open source software, and that our communities work best if we focus on shared values instead of fighting over what
implementations to use. Proof-of-concept images are available now for a limited set of devices. Users are warned these images are " buggy,
unreliable, and NOT suitable for use on a device you rely on ". Those interested
in helping with testing and development are encouraged to follow along and report
bugs on the systemd
issue at GitLab .
