Postmarket actually wound up porting systemd somewhat recently.

Not by choice.

> This is of course not an easy task, one of the main blockers we found as we collaborate more closely with KDE and GNOME developers is that they have a hard time with our OpenRC-based stack. In order to get KDE Plasma and GNOME working at all, we use a lot of systemd polyfills on top of OpenRC.

I don't particularly care about those details. I was mostly pointing out to the parent commenter that it does exist there now.

postmarket OS with systemd is far from ready at least for the device I'm working with. I even have to prepare a serial cable to figure what's happening.

But I know that once it's fixed, it will work well, so it's motivating me to give a hand
