    He uninstalled systemd, now his computer is not doing systemd things anymore by his retelling. Seems like it worked fine. Yet he asks for a solution of a problem. Maybe he needs to state the problem.

        Nah, more like deleting explorer.exe.

        There’s isn’t really a Windows equivalent for this, as Windows doesn’t give you control on this level.

        It’d be as if you could delete services.msc but also the runner behind it.

          I did delete explorer.exe on an earlier iteration of Windows (possibly 98SE). I’ve just restored it with Windows Commander (now TCMD).

        But system32 contains the NT kernel as well, so that’s worse. Uninstalling your init system on a Linux distro still leaves you with single user mode. You could probably reinstall an init system from there.

        On Debian you can actually change init systems. Don’t know how hard it is and you are probably meant to install a new one after removing systemd, but it is possible at least.

      I mean, it can work out if he installs an alternative init & rc and a wifi-manager first. And then recreates initrd. Maybe needs to migrate some dns stuff too.
