I’m curious to know why people use systemd-less distributions. Which one would you recommend to someone who wants to stop using systemd?

    I’m the type of person who wants more systemd in my computer, but if I think the arguments for a systemd-less system are:

    • Making sure that apps remain open and compatible with other init systems, so that if systemd turns evil there is a easy way to escape.
    • Trimming and removing bloat that some people feel systemd provides.
    • Testing out other init systems just for the fun of it, like distro hopping.

      Since systemD is open source, even if they do turn evil it could be forked from the last non-evil version, or another implementation could be made. I do agree with the other two points though.
