I used Arch during the days before it switched to systemd (and before Ubuntu introduced Unity) and enjoyed it until I have accidentally found out Ubuntu feels faster on my PC so I switched to Ubuntu. Once Ubuntu switched to GNOME3 I have switched to Manjaro (with KDE5) and I really love it (it feels like the perfect spot between Arch freshness and reasonable stability - you still get the fresh stuff reasonably fast but they test it before that so it's much less likely for an update to ruin your system) but I don't know how to get rid of Avahi: :: removing avahi breaks dependency 'avahi' required by geoclue :: removing avahi breaks dependency 'avahi' required by gvfs :: removing avahi breaks dependency 'avahi' required by kdnssd :: removing avahi breaks dependency 'avahi' required by libcups :: removing avahi breaks dependency 'avahi' required by mpd :: removing avahi breaks dependency 'avahi' required by nss-mdns :: removing avahi breaks dependency 'avahi' required by ostree :: removing avahi breaks dependency 'avahi' required by pulseaudio-zeroconf :: removing avahi breaks dependency 'avahi' required by sane i.e. I certainly need CUPS (to have a virtual PDF printer) and it depends on it (and I don't even know what 2/3 of the rest of the packages listed do). It is also very much possible the situation is the same on Arch. Also, I don't really mind systemd from the practical point of view but the actual idea we were speaking about is having a simple, intuitive init system, which systemd is not.
