    You can switch seamlessly between systemd and openrc on gentoo. Although it might be worth using one of the debian derivatives in this user’s case - not sure they should be messing with their system too much!

    I think I would have preferred sudo apt-get remove --purge systemd Yeah, some old habits never die.

    😄 About time to have an exclusive SystemD O.S. so that these new users understand not to fiddle with PID Eins /s /j

      We’ll just need systemd-kernel and systemd-coreutils in order to create a full systemd os free from Stallman and Torvald tyranny. It’ll be glorious! \s

      Yeah both runit and sysvinit are supported, but packages are no longer required to include sysvinit scripts, so there’s no guarantee that all software will work. Most have kept their sysvinit script though.

      The main issue will be that systemd does a lot of stuff, so you’d have to install replacements for everything else it does - like a syslog daemon for logging, ntp client for clock syncing, DNS resolver, etc.

      I mean if you’ve never seen or used a car before, and someone from a position of relative authority or trust gave you a very convincing argument that a particular part that you don’t understand is easy to remove and you’ll benefit from it…

      Yeah it’s pretty reasonable that the average person might shoot themselves in the foot by letting them remove that part (tell them a command to run).

        systemd is more like, uhh, ignition that takes care of way too many things beyond starting the engine

          It is closer to the ECU on a car (in more ways than one).

    MX, always based on latest Debian, is using sysVinit, but you can also boot with systemd if you want, it supports both. MX is pretty popular, simple, fast, Xfce by default, and very up to date on everything. I’m using it for 6 years now, on laptop, PC. Also maybe it’s me, but no flatpak, no snap, etc, not needed, for instance latest FF is a standard .deb
