I don't know that they were assumptions, but rather deliberate. While I suspect impacting the BSD community was not on their radar, a lot of the linux community didn't like systemd either - and what better way to force your thing than make it required for the new shiny things.

I seem to remember mailing list posts with GNOME developers activley refusing interoperability patches (i think the one I remember was in regards to musl)..

Yes, I'm a big fan, but unfortunatly don't have an nvidia card, i think openindiana had i915 sort-of-working at one point, but seems the only way to get a reliable desktop is with nvidia. I have an AMD radeon.

I'm back on debian too :( FreeBSD kept rebooting itself when using the GPU. Oh well.
