I’m curious to know why people use systemd-less distributions. Which one would you recommend to someone who wants to stop using systemd?

    I do not trust Red Hat not to be sold to someone who will take advantage

    They’ve been IBM since 2019.

      Hardly any of the core systemd people work at Redhat these days. Microsoft employs more of them then Redhat. Right now I think Lennarts new company employes several of the key systemd people.

      Contributions are comming in from all major distributions though.

      And IBM could very easily sell them on, or the leadership there could change and decide to do something unpleasant (although I know IBM has a long history of being about as maneuverable as a parade float, it still could happen).
