That is not correct.
There are some Linux distributions that have stated that they will never
use systemd and some that have been created explicitly to not use systemd.
So you still have choice. Using that choice is up to you.
I have chosen to use Devuan for now.
Devuan is a non-systemd linux disturbution. It started as a 100% Debian
clone with the systemd stuff removed, but has now started to drift
slightly. For me it was utterly trivial to make work because I have used
Debian since before it was first released and my last Debian system
didn't use anything that actually needed systemd, (e.g. Gnome), so
migrating was easy.
I'm running it on my desktop, laptop and servers, router/firewall and
Raspberry Pi's
It's nice to have choice. And there is lots of choice out there if you
want a Unix like operating system, such as FreeBSD and so on.
Gordon
Thanks for that. I have heard about Devuan, but never looked at it.
Perhaps I was not clear, however. I am neutral about systemd. I am not
looking for a distro that uses it nor one that does not use it. I was
just looking for some information about it all.
For me, as long as it works, I don't really care.
