I'm not sure that's a recent thing, any more. It was back when Linux devs couldn't get their heads around proprietary graphics drivers (and maybe still can't). Now that they've gone mostly open source with those, the chances of that happening is far less than it used to be.

Not sure what you have against systemd. I gladly switched over when it was introduced, and have never had an issue. A lot less scripting involved, that's for sure.
Anyway, the other day I was bored and installed Manjaro (Gnome) and Manjaro (KDE) in a couple Virtualbox VMs, to see how that distro as well as the latest and greatest from the two most popular desktop environments were getting along these days. It was a much nicer experience than I remember back when they first started (Manjaro, that is, obviously KDE and Gnome are much older than that).
I just have no need for a full GUI Linux desktop system at this point, so I stick with Arch.
Regards,
Nick
