Here's my experience with removing systemd from Debian - DO NOT ATTEMPT. There's a reason the Devuan people have made significant changes to the system and packages.
If you don't want systemd it's important to choose a distribution that doesn't increasingly expect it. Don't try to rip it out, that just causes pain to the host (you). You need to treat it by avoiding it.
- b112 4y agoI've been running systemd free debian for years. It may be that you hit an edge case, and I bet that was with a display manager most likely? I run sawfish, and trinity, no problems with either...
- midislack 4y agoThere has been a difficulty with hibernate to disk with it missing among other issues.
- b112 4y agoThere is indeed a conflict between two different packages being used for acpi type stuff. For me, I had to sort it out, to get suspend to ram to work(S3) with my laptop. I'll have a look at my notes shortly...
- midislack 4y agoI have Debian still on my old Thinkpad X40 with systemd removed, it's usable but there are niggles like with ACPI so that it's not useful as a laptop per se. Love that machine. It was my first Thinkpad.
