Gentoo and others exist for far more reasons than just avoiding systemd.
- denton-scratch 5y agoHmm, I thought Gentoo defaulted to systemd. Rather, I learn that it's an 'alternative'. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gentoo_Without_systemd https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gentoo_Without_systemd Looks like you have to do a bit of tinkering to ensure it stays free of systemd. Same with Debian, which I use with SysV init. But it took a couple of hours tweaking to switch - perhaps one of the other inits might have been easier to switch to.
