It sounds like you wish they used systemd. "Modern" is rarely a good description, and at 15 years old I don't think systemd qualifies as such anyways.
Yes, I think this confuses modern Linux users because bash is the default on most Linux server and desktop installs. So they end up thinking zsh is "new" because it's an additional package.

postmarket OS with systemd is far from ready at least for the device I'm working with. I even have to prepare a serial cable to figure what's happening.
But I know that once it's fixed, it will work well, so it's motivating me to give a hand
