More interesting things:

  • The “systemd-tmpfiles --purge” option is reworked to only apply to tmpfiles.d/ lines marked with the new “$” flag. This is to better address systemd’s --purge deleting too many files by accident.
  • Systemd 258 also aims to remove support for the (deprecated) System V service scripts support.
  • systemd-boot menu will now react to volume up/down rocker presses in the same way as arrow up/down presses. This is for smartphones and other devices that may have volume up/down rockers but not arrow keys.
