Found this little gem on the web today to see how goes it in the non-systemd realm. Seems like there are some real options if one wishes to play around a bit.
I think i will play with obarun next. It uses JWM only though so that’s a thing to consider… Still a little expirimenting could be interesting if not educational.
Seriously. Asking that question hides a snub because what you’re really saying to me is: how is it you are smart enough to really understand what’s wrong with systemd? And I take exception to that.
It’s true I am certified nuts by the social security administration of the USA. But nuts is not stupid. Though it often enough interferes with wise decision making…the two are not synonyms.
I’ve used about 1/2 of them on that list, and the only one I’ve used that I like is Void. I’ll deal with systemd over some of the real potatoes on that list.
From the list mentioned, I’ve had good success with Slackel, antiX, MXLinux and Slackware running non systemd.
At the time, I was still running older hardware in 32-bit, so they all ran quite well with limited resources, and still offer 32-bit installation options, which are a vanishing breed nowadays.
Void rocks but is not for beginners. But if you are advanced enough to give a damn about SystemD, and you can figure out Arch, you can figure out Void.
Yeah, I keep Void on one of my systems most of the time. Right now I have Void on my Chuwi Lapbook Pro 14. Runs quite well. Still wish their repos were larger by far, there’s a LOT of my preferred apps missing from it.
