Thanks. I asked because I use MX Linux which uses sysV. A friend is waiting for all this covid stuff to finish so that I can get him on to Linux. I am considering Linux Lite as a suitable distro for him, and that uses systemd.I just go with the flow, using a 'stable' openSUSE LEAP 15.1 at present, it uses systemd, or so they tell me, I have never checked. I find no problem since they switched over form init V as default a long time ago. So for my use, as not a coder and not a developer and not a packager it seems irrelevant. Although I understand the "old principle" of "do only one thing and do that one thing well', compared to larger multi-things in systemd To me old "SuSE 9" used init, then they changed in version openSUSE 12 I think, or thereabouts some years ago, but I have never had to worry about it. I assume the distribution compilers and their folk know what they are doing to give a stable system sold as "SUSE" while we free users on 'openSUSE" are slightly ahead in some things, but recently they have tied the code of commercial SUSE more closely to free openSUSE.
I will just go ahead and ignore all the stuff on line about it. Neil -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dcglug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
