[ale] please bow your head for a moment of silence...

[Lightner, Jeffrey]

Caveman conversation:
Ug:  What that?
Zog:  Wheel.
Ug:  Why wheel?  Drag work for years.
Zog: More fast to use wheel.
Ug: Wheel made by false god to trap draggers.  It bad.   
Ug then clubs Zog because Zog doesn't see the intrinsic "reason" of Ug's opinion. 


Move ahead 10,000 years:
Ug:  What that?
Zog:  Systemd.
Ug: Why systemd.  Init work for years...

:p

That being said, several Linux distros don't use systemd and are committed to not using systemd:

* Devuan
* Void
* Funtoo

There are probably seven or eight more that currently don't use systemd, or don't use it by default, but have not foresworn the possibility.

Except for those who "simply must" have their Gnome, KDE or NetworkManager, there are plenty of Linux systems out there they can run without systemd.
