    Debian works fine without systemd too, there’s a page on the wiki on how to install without it, or remove it after the fact.

      Easy with sudo apt remove --purge --allow-remove-essential --auto-remove systemd:

      The predictable failure of things towards the end of apt running the above command. Still in a gnome terminal, but the apt script couldn't even complete due to a bunch of stuff now missing

      Uh-oh.. a black vt on reboot, complaining that no inittab found..

      :-D Time to go outside.

        They seem to. Debian explicitly supports multiple init systems, sysvinit being the primary alternative, so packages have to handle systemd-init not being there.
