    Yes, most of them do, and that is why I complain about it. I want to have the choice. I don’t mind if other people use systemd; I just don’t want it forced one me.

      Gentoo, Arch, and their derivatives still exist. How important is a legacy init system to you?

        FYI: Arch uses systemd.

        I don’t mind systemd so I haven’t tried to rip it out, but I can’t imagine trying to replace it with a legacy init system is going to be smooth sailing.

          Probably true, but Arch being what it is, there’s still the option to install sysvinit or whatever. The question remains - how important is NOT using systemd to the admin in question?
