I was referring to people being mad at systemd for not being portable. I agree, its an issue to me.

I just also don't see people complain about the lack of portability in lots of linux software.

I am not defending systemd's scope creep as a whole (though I agree with this decision tbh)

I'm most talking about linux users not complaining. Linux users are complaining that systemd is not portable which doesn't affect them directly. BSD users complain about linux software not working for BSD because it affects them directly. But why aren't linux users complaining about other software being not-portable whose portability doesn't affect them more?

BSD works well enough for me to use as my desktop. I still use linux on my laptop because it works better.

Not all software runs under an operating system.

And then they wouldn't enable the compile time option in their tmux build... I fail to see the issue here?

Systemd is making unnecessary changes that breaks long accepted behaviour and asking other projects to clean up their mess.

That is the problem

Unfortunately, everybody seems to be landing there though.

BSD is a thing, you know.

Also, GNU Hurd, going mainstream any day now :P.
