I would actually be somewhat okay with running the graphical stack as root inside a jail, if it meant bypassing all of the systemd emulation.<p>&gt; Frankly it feels like Linux is turning into some kind of marketing mess<p>I feel it&#x27;s just been becoming a mess in general. They&#x27;re trying too hard to cater to every possible use case, and there&#x27;s nobody really in charge of the whole end-product to say &quot;NO&quot; to things. So they completely miss the elegance that comes with simplicity and minimalism.<p>More and more, I feel the long-term solution for BSD is going to have to be a full split on the graphical stack. It&#x27;s been lovely for transitioning to be able to take all of my Linux apps with me to BSD, and it&#x27;s a huge hindrance to eg Haiku adoption, but ... with Linux becoming more and more insular with Linux-only dependencies all throughout the stack, it seems inevitable that this Frankenstein of Linux emulation is going to have to collapse at some point. We could still have GTK&#x2F;Qt ports, so we could still run the truly portable stuff (Audacious, Pidgin, Transmission. etc.)<p>Or as a nice alternative, dedicate a TTY to running a virtual machine of a full Linux OS for your graphical desktop.
