Solaris 11.4 To Move From GNOME 2 Desktop To GNOME Shell

[dragon321]

Really never was 100 percent true. Gnome 3 depends on features systemd provides. But Gnome does not say those features only have to be provided by systemd. systemd-logind there is elogind. Basically Gnome 3 depends on parts in systemd not all of systemd and those parts can be implemented outside of systemd..

This is really no different to hald where different operating systems need their own platform particular implementations to work right. Reality this has been mountain out of mole hill. By making it out as a mountain a lot of developers did not look at what was really required and find out its quite a small mole hill of parts that have be reimplmented or ported.

elogind works on nonLinux OS?

I thought recent GNOME 3 needs systemd which is Linux only.
