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.

    Or a yessir to RedHat.

    Thanks Debian & Ubuntu, for holding the line. Way to really stand up for yourselves.

    Exactly -- there's no real difference here. The "circular logic" post from above pretty much says it all.

    If the supposed COMMUNITY got its way this wouldn't be happening. Clearly it doesn't.

    Same thing, different CEO.

      Yep, that's what's killed it for me. When Linux was sort of on the edge, the entire character of the 'movement' was different. It seemed like a perfect mix of ideology, brains, and determination.

      Now that it's essentially as 'edgy' as your local McDonald's menu (and about as interesting), shit like this is going to continue to drive people into the arms of Windows and the BSDs, which I'm not totally sure is a good thing either.

      Such is the way of things, however. Sad, though, to see it end this way.
