I've been expecting that fedora 95 release notes will peacock the addition of
a start button and a BSOD as a feature. (place whichever emoticon applies,

fedora is dead. Long live fedora.

I don't think it's a fedora thing. I think it's a linux thing.
And I'm not saying that it's all bad -- open source systems go the way developers want it to go, and we user types are pretty much along for the ride. We can get off any time we want, no harm no foul, and for me the ride is still a lot of fun.
It may be that something forks into new and innovative territory. Maybe it just becomes an open source Windows platform -- which would still be better than Windows itself. For me it's a win whichever way it goes; I'm not Windows-phobic, except for privacy and security issues.
So, when I say that about systemd, it's not necessarily a criticism. It's just an example of the changing philosophy that's moving linux one more step into the Windows-like neighborhood. That may be a smart move, but as with all things in life, every decision has a cost and a benefit.
