That isn’t a Linux thing. Rather, it’s IBM trying to control Linux through Wayland and systemd, since they’ve been linked for some time now.
That’s why I’m all-in for the fragmentation that deviates from corporate norms.


Yes, I know of Void. However, despite running with runit right now, the Vendefoul Wolf Twitter account had basically talked about how systemd is being a dependency for Wayland, despite it not being a hard one right now. Some features of Wayland, from what I understand of it (I’ll need to do some more research on it) will require systemd as a hard dependency in the future.
The post I speak of is here: https://xcancel.com/vendefoulwolf/status/2035471338412916937#m
Edit: The question about the distros claiming to be systemd-free, and saying they aren’t. The guy behind the Vendefoul Wolf account probably missed that question


Well… anything with Ubuntu backing it is going to do digital ID. Probably your best bet would be Vendefoul Wolf with SonicDE or similar for Plasma, but without Wayland, as Wayland will likely require systemd in the future, and that means you’ll be doing digital ID through the field used for this purpose (if a distro decides to implement this feature, that is).
At this point, I’d just ditch everyday Wayland, and use it for specific purposes should that be needed.


Zorin is a solid choice. Ubuntu-based without digital ID, Irish-made (not subject to the American digital ID laws), and designed with digital freedom in mind, despite snap format being enabled by default.


That literally sounds like a social credit score system that’s FOSS, and verifiable.
I still wouldn’t trust it, though.


Likely due to American digital ID laws, they made this announcement. It wasn’t Europe necessarily, as they don’t even have digital ID yet.
Good thing I have no intention (nor my producer) to get Twitter, and this is kinda why.
They’re proprietary. It doesn’t seem to be a good idea right now.
Someone needs to audit their stuff so we can get a good idea of what they’re like, and then see how they react.

I honestly hadn’t heard about Cagebreak until I looked it up.
I’m still sticking with i3 (XLibre), though (as it suits my needs well).

This getting blocked is absolute nonsense. What that tells you is that this moderator is a censorious idiot who seems to be taking money from someone well connected.
My thoughts exactly. That’s why I love using XLibre (X11 fork) and Libre-WD-40 (Git without Rust). They’re fantastic for my needs, but maybe not yours.
