What do you think about MX Linux - eviltoast

It’s really great for someone who doesn’t know how to use debain itself and their community are super friendly so do you think it’s worth it’s legacy

    Why would that make it a pass? Did you read the whole thing? It includes SystemD by default and an option to easily switch to it.

      I admittedly missed the last part way down at the bottom about systemd-sysv. I suppose that’s more acceptable… but still you’re going to be using a minority distro with a minority configuration … that rarely ends well.

        All it does is symlink init to systemd. That is very unlikely to ever cause a problem. It will function the same as using SystemD by default. This distro has been around and working well for quite a long time now.

          … and I’m sure it still has a fraction of the users of more mainstream distros and a fraction of those people actually using the systemd init system.

            A fraction, but still not an insignificant amount. Either way, all it does it change /sbin/init to be a symlink to systemd. That’s the same exact thing distros using systemd by default do.
