Collaboration with KDE and GNOME developers is hindered by the OpenRC-based stack used in postmarketOS. By supporting systemd, the friction and problems faced by developers can be reduced, allowing for better compatibility with KDE and GNOME UIs. The goal is to make postmarketOS usable for regular users and compete with iOS and Android.

One of the main blockers we found as we collaborate more closely with KDE and GNOME developers is that they have a hard time with our OpenRC-based stack. In order to get KDE and GNOME working at all, we use a lot of systemd KDE and GNOME stacks power three of the four most-used phone UIs that we have in postmarketOS: Plasma Mobile, GNOME Mobile, and Phosh. Our goal is to have postmarketOS become usable by regular folks, who are currently using iOS and Android.

So if we don't support KDE and GNOME anymore, then we have no chance of making a system that works for the casual user. On the other hand, by supporting systemd, we reduce the friction and problems that KDE and GNOME developers face currently, they build their UIs to work with systemd and so we can run them as they intended to. The APIs provided by systemd are actually needed to run a modern smartphone UI on Linux: there isn't really an alternative out there.for years, but it still isn't here. is basically on life support anyway, and the maintainers primarily focus on Gentoo use-case
