While I don’t enjoy the fact that this introduces a ton of maintenance issues on systemd-less systems that would like to continue supporting GNOME, I do think leveraging systemd to elegantly revive the session save/restore functionality bodes a lot of optimism for the set of features that will follow.
I’m at least thankful that this maintainer/contributor dedicated about half of their announcement on how systemd-less systems could alleviate this issue.
Good news: session save/restore
Bad news: lennart’s tumor
Verdict: nope.
Well this is bound to be controversial, to say the least. GNOME and systemd are two pieces of software that attract very polarized opinions.
I’m interested to see how this evolves. The planned session restore feature sounds nice. With the Wayland changes coming too, GNOME 50 should be a big deal, one way or another.
Yes, systemd is a very good and very well written piece of software while GNOME is a pile questionable decisions that uses web tech to create themes and takes about half a second to load up any window. Also the same pile where you’ve to use 3 different network management UIs to get stuff done. And… where you can’t have desktop icons because they were too hard to get done properly OR where you can’t have a “disable animations” toggle on the settings to actually disable ALL animations instead of just some stuff while leaving others arounds.
Please consider to stop hating on GNOME or its design choices the very moment it’s brought up.
Sure, can they consider stopping wasting money / time actually develop useful stuff? For a DE that got €1M from the Sovereign Tech Fund they’re not showing results.
Okay fine, desktop icons can be a design decision, however a “disable animations” toggle on the settings that doesn’t disable ALL animations… that’s just poorly made software, not something you may have an opinion on.

It is a fact that GNOME is the only other DE (besides KDE Plasma) that has modern features. So, frankly, I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Furthermore, GNOME’s ways lends itself a lot better to the secure by default/design paradigm(s) as illustrated by this table from secureblue.

Do you mean the one that used to be in accessibility? Though, FWIW, I couldn’t even find it this time 😅. Instead, consider to evoke the following command:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface enable-animations falseI’ll grant you that it might feel archaic for some to do this through a terminal. Though, this setting is also accessible through Dconf Editor. Regardless, at least it works as desired.
Even that command wont really disable ALL animations.
Would you mind pointing out which animations are allegedly not disabled?
GNOME - misses basic functionality every other DE provides, still uses the most resources even before you add extensions
Finally, because nobody needs to manage system like it’s the 2000’s nor have duplicate daemons around to do stuff that systemd does in 1/4 of the resources and with less bugs.
There are only 2 types of people. Who hate systemd and those who don’t know what systemd is. \s
