  To be fair, after reading the thread about how people are voting with their feet about systemd-based distributions, I think there's a fair bit of trolling in this thread. "Dropping systemd" would mean that they either use containers in an OS that most likely uses systemd itself, or they otherwise use some niche distribution (such as Antix, Devuan) that I've never heard of being used widely in a production context. Other aspects of systemd might need getting some used to, but it's nothing that a reading of the Archlinux wiki didn't solve.

    Voting with their feet? As a non-OS developer, I have a very limited distribution selection if I want to use a popular choice receiving more support , bug fixes, etc. Sure, I could run a less popular distribution that foregoes systemd, but what happens when I encounter an issue with wifi, sound, etc. Can I get CUDA or Steam to work on a periphery OS? Systemd is chosen for me because there is so much more to an OS.

      It is chosen for you democratically by people that actually bother fixing those problems for you, for mostly free. Debian has voted multiple times on it, with systemd winning hands down each time. Maybe we should listen to their expertise, shouldn’t we?
