4 days agoI’m tempering the systemd thing as I do feel it is somewhat getting blown out of proportion. Though I did try some non systemd distros in a VM over the last week.
A bigger issue for me is this push to embrace AI. It seems all the American tech companies are jumping on board and Red Hat is no exception.
I want to love Fedora but this is the last straw for me.

Essentially any distro with funding primarily from US tech companies is going to go to shit. It’s only a matter of time.
I do run EndeavourOS on my main PC and it’s pretty great. I have not seen any statement regarding their position on the age attestation crap. I’ll jump ship if they come out in favour of it. I just hope they do not.
Absolutely. I have no love for Red Hat as a company. My first Linux distro was Red Hat 6. I want to love Fedora for purely nostalgic reasons.
Systemd adding the birthdate field to the user info is definitely troubling. It shows which way the wind is blowing for sure. I should have stated that I am MORE concerned about the AI takeover in the immediate. I am by no means dismissing the systemd concerns.
