       It wasn't until I came back to Arch for a few specific systems that would be too cumbersome to compile everything on (or set up a dedicated binhost for) that I learned that Arch depends on SystemD. Arch is intentionally minimal, right? You'd think it would benefit from choice of init system, considering SystemD does so much. This dependency surprised me.

       @maddy from what i know arch's minimalism is more around the distro maintenance side, so offloading a big chunk of the work to systemd (that you'd otherwise spend writing shell scripts or patching gnome to un-depend on systemd) probably fits within their goals relatively well
