Hi, By reading PCLinuxOS texstar twitter feed, I learned that mainstream KDE is going to need systemd. Here you can read it: https://twitter.com/iluvpclinuxos And I found this article which explains why they want to do this: http://blog.davidedmundson.co.uk/blog/systemd-and-plasma I do not want or need to comment on this, since as an user, I don't care that much about init system, but I wanted to share this info here. Have a great day! -Alexandre
