It is a stepping stone, but nowhere near a complete solution.
I just don't see anyone from the existing Plasma team working on any of these missing part, which is what the thread starter alledged they do.

I am mostly referring to the fact that, at least on my system, the output of systemd --help list this
Originally posted by system-help--system Run a system instance, even if PID != 1
The comment I was replying to had claimed that systemd needed to be PID 1 in order to provide the functionality needed by logind.
Based on my information that seems incorrect, but I wanted to give the other poster a chance to provide information about which kernel function needed by logind is only made available to PID 1.
Originally posted by rdnetto View PostI think this is a really important aspect of the discussion that most people miss. It certainly doesn't help that the systemd project refers to their init system as just systemd instead of something else, like initd or systemd-init...
Really frustrating because a lot of people seem to be up in arms about an alledged init dependency when in fact there is none.

Which kernel functionatily is needed for that which is restricted to PID 1?

systemd has an Init system.

Originally posted by interested View PostThe problem have historically been, that the *BSD's don't pull their share when it comes to DE development. On top of that they have been dragging their feet to implement the necessary infrastructure like KMS, even though their OS benefits from it.
The BSDs are kind of stuck - they don't have the developer numbers to keep up with what upstream desktop projects are doing on Linux, and if they can't keep up, they lose influence in that area... too small and too backward for upstream to really care too much about them.

Originally posted by erendorn View PostOh, one cannot really blame the mix up, because:
systemd, as in the systemd project, has an init system. Which, absolutely not confusingly, is called... systemd.
systemd, as in the systemd daemon, is an init system. It is part of a project named systemd.
Even in the second case one would have to say that it can be an init system.
All of its user application facing features are provided by the daemon wether it is the init or not.
Which is why it is IMHO quite important to get the distinction right, otherwise we'll continue to see misinformed claims like "GNOME depends on a specific init" as seen during the Debian discussions.
