Nobody forced us, Arch Linux, to adopt systemd.

  That choice did get me to switch off an arch derivative to Devuan. Also, the purported benefits in this post (which I guess is authoritative for the project?): https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1149530#p1149530 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1149530#p1149530 Haven’t panned out for me. 8: logind being repeatedly and completely busted (in 2022-2024) got me to try Debian again. 9: Debian taking 10’s of seconds to boot (just like manjaro), when devuan does it faster than a monitor sync got me to switch to devuan. (And, yes, since logind regularly wedges, I spend lots of time rebooting). Hotplug worked fine for me way before systemd existed, so that’s not a benefit either.
