No they don't? Alpine uses the BusyBox deamons (initd, evdev etc.) And Gentoo uses openrc. Both of these are much easier to tweak than systemd. Same for the net

  > Both of these are much easier to tweak than systemd. Disagree. The documentation for systemd is very detailed, and while it is in fact different from sysvinit (which I believe is 90% of the criticism), it is remarkably consistent with itself (compared to a feature-equivalent set of 100 separate tools). The big achievement of systemd is that it steamrolls over a ton of idiosyncrasies that distributions built over the decades. These days, I can just SSH into a random distribution (Arch, Debian, Ubuntu, Redhat, Suse) and everything works as I expect (querying the status of services, finding logs, issuing administrative commands, etc.).
