This is why more competition like System76 is important in Linux space. GNOME is pretty much a corporate controlled GUI. It sucks so much if you want to do anything advanced or productive (I use GNOME by the way). That is why I am excited for projects like COSMIC, Nix etc.

Edit: My point is not that systemd is bad. I personally haven't had any issues with systemd. I would just like more competition to companies like RedHat so they don't end up controlling our computing like Microsoft and Google did.
