Fork time? Maybe all the anti-systemd zealots were right all along…

Edit: To address whether it is likely that this change will affect users: Gnome is planning a stronger dependence on userdb, the part of systemd where this change is being implemented. https://blogs.gnome.org/adrianvovk/2025/06/10/gnome-systemd-dependencies/

Final Edit: The PR has been merged into main.

    Is this comment a joke? That or you’re very naive about the problems these things did cause.

    As someone who deals on rare occasion with Linux PCs, both TPMs and Secure Boot have been a fucking PITA that have done nothing but help solidify the Microsoft/Apple/Google grip.

      love to hear some examples of the issues you’ve seen

      for years, i’ve always completely wiped the trusted CAs and enrolled my own SecureBoot keys, and only use Linux

      there have been vulnerabilities in SecureBoot, sure, but only for folks that don’t wipe the “trust Microsoft” keys away first

      tell me how user-enrolled keys cements Microsoft’s ownership over my device please :)
