    Time to boycott systemd. We’re not doing this slippery slope game. This red flag is the last straw!

      Welcome! We’ve prepared a soft landing for you. Prepare to enjoy Linux again!

      What’s your distro of choice? Nearly every one has a systemd-less fork.

        I recommend to also look at other operating systems. OpenBSD will never do any of that.

          What can it run? Is gaming on BSD a thing?

            Yes. Steam works on FreeBSD, but most of us just play simpler games.

        U.S. laws just shouldn’t be for everyone.

          They aren’t, and this change by systemd doesn’t change that. OP is a dumbass.
