There are already excellent libre systemd-free distros, with release cadences ranging from rolling (Guix) to RHEL-level glacial (Slackware). That's not a hole in the market right now.

- einpoklum 3y agoIt's somewhat of a whole in the market for distributions with commercial-corporate-handholding. But you're right in that a company like SUSE could, instead of introducing a new distribution, decide they're "adopting" an existing FOSS distribution (systemd-free or otherwise) and offering hand-holding, call-us-any-time support for corporations deploying it.
