Yeah, I generally agree; I'm a big fan of systemd on Linux.

However, on BSD this does sound unfortunately likely to be painful.

I've heard of the year of Linux on the desktop, but I've never really heard of the year of BSD on the desktop. Apart from OSX, maybe.

I guess this is the kind of stuff POSIX could've helped with, but it seems to be busy mandating buggy behaviour.

Anyone developing desktop for BSD will likely just gravitate to xfce or similar I bet. I honestly am not sure what ghostbsd or midnight or others package by default now.

I'm not either, I've never even ran a BSD desktop... But I support the BSD desktop existing and wish it well.
