That’s a great philosophy for cli utilities. I think this might be the crux of the argument. Wayland is certainly not a cli utility, so there’s no need to argue if or how it impacts that environment. I’m quite familiar with openRC, so when I was introduced to systemd, it felt quite awkward. I use both, but still prefer openRC, maybe still due to familiarity. If I’m operating in an WM or DE, it doesn’t really matter that much. It’s been over a decade since I’ve run an ntp daemon. 😉
