systemd is pervasive in the GNU/Linux world and I think it’s futile to stay on GNU/Linux and try to avoid systemd. Just look at the list of distros in the article: a bunch of obscure forks of prominent systemd distros like Debian and Arch, a distro (Gentoo) whose main claim to fame is compile it yourself, one where they say a leading Google search is whether the distro is dead, and one where they say “oh gee, we haven’t heard of it, let us know if it works.” Seems to me that if you hate systemd, it’s time to try a BSD. GNU/Linux has been going down this path of complexity for years. These same arguments spawned with udev years ago, and Slackware held out then just as it is with systemd. OpenBSD on the other hand embraces simplicity and the old UNIX way. Of course it also lacks niceties like Bluetooth, but that’s the price you pay. Maybe systemd is needed to manage complex systems that support ugly things like Bluetooth.
