    Gentoo, Arch, and their derivatives still exist. How important is a legacy init system to you?

      FYI: Arch uses systemd.

      I don’t mind systemd so I haven’t tried to rip it out, but I can’t imagine trying to replace it with a legacy init system is going to be smooth sailing.

        Probably true, but Arch being what it is, there’s still the option to install sysvinit or whatever. The question remains - how important is NOT using systemd to the admin in question?
