I am entirely unsurprised that people who hate systemd also hate wayland.

I swear some people want Linux to be exactly how it was in 2003, forever.

They actually do. To quote a major FOSS developer, "popularity is not a project goal."

Reminds me of early punk rockers that get upset when their tiny little nobody band that fits in their back pocket, gets too big to fit in their pocket anymore. Some might call it "selling out."

At this point they should just switch to BSD. Although Wayland is getting traction there as well...

And on the upside for them, no Gnome, since the devs are making systemd a hard dependency.
