with picrel dead in the water, where do I go for a systemd free stable distro now?

it's not dead, please stop
Alexander Kelly
Sounds like a job for Gentoo.
Sebastian Wood
It is slow to accept PRs and devs are busy deciding what to do.
Not the best time to try it out.
Aaron Garcia
That announcement didn't exactly bode well
Is it stable?
>inb4 if you know what you're doing like a cool guy like me
Yeah but if you want that justwerks(tm) experience
I'm looking at devuan, anyone have any experience with it?
John Adams
There is no escape. Accept the future.
Jeremiah Johnson
>Is it stable?
Personally, never had a single problem with it.
I know that some people have one version of 4.15 kernel not booting. Not sure that's Void's error, though.
David Evans
Slackware.
Nathaniel Collins
Slackware, Devuan, or Gentoo.
Mason Diaz
Nah mate, on a T60 with 3 giblets of ram, I refuse to run systemd
oof, thats another good shout user, thanks, I haven't used slackware in many days, but it didn't crash for any of them. I may do this.
Dylan Hernandez
Crux
Leo Brooks
He is likely either dead or arrested by CIA Niggers.
But the faggot dev is perhaps just hiding his ass or running away (from responsabilities and CIA Niggers)
Zachary Moore
Debian. Just uninstall systemd.
Brandon Ross
>x86-64
rip
Sebastian Watson
stop spreading fud
you have an agenda?
Levi Reyes
yeah the agenda that I want a distro that will be maintained in a couple of months
Jordan Hernandez
for you
John Scott
>Devuan
What's the point of Devuan when you can just remove systemd from Debian?
Noah Smith
Trisquel
Colton Young
I need non free firmware for now. AMD graphics and intel wireles card. Atheros wireless card on the way tho
Levi Martinez
Debian doesn't make me hard it's too mainstream
Jordan Evans
nah I like debian, but won't some packages install sysd as a dependency?
Justin Johnson
None that I use, at least. Then again, I don't have Gnome installed.
But even if Gnome requires systemd, is that a problem? If Gnome intrinsically requires systemd, that just means that a systemd-free distro can't ship Gnome anyway, whereas if you get systemd as a dependency for installing Gnome, you've lost nothing that you'd have on a distro that includes Gnome.
Julian Garcia
thats true I suppose. I think you can build GNOME without systemd, but I use an autism window manager anyway
Jack Flores
make a distro fork without systemd faggot
James Brooks
i just installed the new version with mate. it's really comfy and the theme is easy on the eyes, nice calming colors everywhere.

>The current project leader has disappeared. We have had no contact with him since the end of January, and no meaningful contact for well over a year. This itself would be concerning, on its own but no threat to the project.

>inb4 shill
I'm a Void user and it really is a great distro. I don't know what it is with you Americans and cheering for software, products and political parties like they're fucking sports teams. Give it a go if you want to, you will be pleasantly surprised, if not then fucking shut up about it.
Unless you're just going for (You)s then that's just pathetic.
Liam Wood
I have been (you)sing it for about a year. But I would like it to use something supported
Evan Fisher
also not american; british
Carson King
the gentoo(?) team made gnome work using elogind, and its available on void and alpine i think
Julian Wright
>distro so minimal it got rid of its main dev
Who said void cucks can't entertain?
Parker Mitchell
Hopefully the people on the project team will take control soon. I like this distro.
Matthew Robinson
Devuan is the only answer
Dylan Thompson
It is still supported, the main dev being gone is just a minor issue, they can easily clone the repo to somewhere else (GitLab?) and upgrade xbps mirrors to point to the new host. Hell, the IRC thing is already fixed.
Brayden King
ALPINE is the only sane choice
Caleb Young
>T60 with 3 giblets of ram, I refuse to run systemd
Implying systemd runs any mem additional
William Kelly
Landon Sanchez
do any of you have legitimate reasons for not using systemd, or are you just snowflakes
Jordan Stewart
Artix is very good
Literally Arch systemd-free
Gabriel Miller
Was he killed by CIA niggers?
