Adding systemd to postmarketOS
Wednesday March 6, 2024. 09:11 PM , from LWN.net
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.
