Because of the ubiquity, nay, monopoly of systemd I always assumed it was miles ahead of other init systems. Nope. I’ve been using a non-systemd environment for a while and must say I’m surprised by how little breaks, i.e., next to nothing. Moreover, boot and shutdown times are faster, and more of that good stuff. I suggest trying it out.

    Next to nothing breaks… unless you use GNOME, KDE, or some self-hosting apps - the latter one is unfortunately a deal-breaker for me, as that would require me to manually migrate my Fediverse services from YunoHost to Docker/Podman while somehow keeping the same encryption keys and HTTPS certificates. I’m still investigating how to do so.

      Artix properly debloated KDE Plasma . Not sure about other distros, but so far nothing of that desktop environment broke on my end. Gnome I’m not touching with a ten foot pole, regardless of init system.
