I hear you and I respect your opinion.

By basically forking Gnome, sure.

That was in 2010. We're now in 2026, more and more components depend on systemd. For example: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/gnome-to-have-stronger-dependency-on-systemd.98260/

This like comes from distrowatch. Yes means the distro is using systemd:

• 1 CachyOS: Yes
• 2 Linux Mint: Yes
• 3 MX Linux: Optional
• 4 Pop!_OS: Yes
• 5 Debian: Yes
• 6 Zorin OS Yes
• 7 EndeavourOS: Yes
• 8 Manjaro: Yes
• 9 Fedora: Yes
• 10 Ubuntu: Yes
• 11 AnduinOS: Yes
• 12 openSUSE: Yes
• 13 Bazzite: Yes
• 14 Nobara: Yes
• 15 Arch Linux: Yes
• 16 elementary OS: Yes
• 17 antiX: No
• 18 NixOS: Yes

As we can see, the major popular distros use systemd.

Sure, if you choose a distro like Artix that doesn't use systemd, then yes. However, the major distros use systemd and will continue to do so because it is a critical component of Linux. Once the Linux kernel has finished loading into memory, systemd takes over in user space. Major distros cannot simply switch to a fork on a whim because they need to be completely sure that it is stable and will not cause any compatibility issues.

Let's not forget that Ubuntu, SUSE and Red Hat are used in professional settings, so they won't change to a fork.

Let's be realistic. All these forks will get us nowhere because systemd has become a platform on which major components of the Linux system depend. KDE's new login depends on systemd, as does Gnome.

These forks are just a reaction to the latest addition. They will fizzle out.

I believe the MacBook Neo was a real wake-up call for management. Apple dominates the high-budget market. Now that Apple has entered the low-budget market, it could threaten their market share, as well as Copilot's.

Interesting. What are the articles you recommend to read about this subject?

The RogAlly is not Cachy's objective. It's for regular desktop use.

Yes.

Ubuntu or Debian. I'm using Ubuntu and it has never failed me.
