Avoiding systemd has never given me any trouble that I can think of either. [1]
Amen for choice.
Contrasts to the noise from those who insist we all have to use systemd, and that there’s something wrong with everything else so severe that systemd had to be made.
OpenRC or runit are my faves.
Still got half a dozen others to explore daily driving. Dinit and s66 next on my radar.
But runit’s too nice. ;)
[1: afterthought… oh, that’s not entirely true… the systemd infestation does make it harder to avoid entirely than it needs to be. Its butt-prints persist even in non-systemd distros. But thanks to other developers who favour retaining init-freedom, it can be done, without feeling any irritation or sting.]
