Integration with systemd Making Gnome3 the Default Debian Desktop

Debian Jesse is going to have Gnome3 as the default desktop.

The desktop re-qualification page, used to help choose which desktop will be default, has in the Jesse version a weight for systemd integration, and of course only Gnome3 does it (at least for now). This will surely make the systemd/gnome3 fanbase happy, but possibly will make others unhappy, as it [may] be seen as another step towards mono-culture, until we soon end up with all distros being redhat clones.

    all f#cking fascinating comments really! thx. smile and lol alot.

    just wanted to mention that code comes from motivated people. talk is talk.

    one problem not much mentioned though is the role that "distros" play.
    i think it's possible to use a second computer/device to download all the
    separate source code (projects), compile it and then load it onto the first computer.
    some smart guys said "hey we already did this, let's pack this all together into a DISTRO".
    so i am also laying blame on the distro-leaders for putting a working distro before ethics and philosophy.
    also the hard, honest and important question for future linux: choice.
    what choices do we lose if not pushing against systemdee?
    if every fucking thing needs systemdee to work .. then wat?

    multiple same windows? no!
    icons on the desktop? no!
    need a GPU to work (or a GPU emulator shim)? yes!
    shitty desktop interface? yes!
    f#ck gnome3! if we can kill gnome3 we can kill systemdee too!

    go MATE! GOGOGOGO!

    btw. stinkyfeet2 on desktop and systemdee on servers with no xserver ONLY BECAUSE i respect the hard (real) work
    of kernel programmers (don't let it go to waste) and "my" distro dumped SysV init going to the 3 series linux kernel.
    if i would not appreciate the new kernels i'd stick w/ SysV init (and the "old" kernels).
