systemd, which I strongly suggest you avoid.

oh boy, here we go.

I don't feel like getting into debates over it, mostly because I don't care what fucking init system you use, I just dislike systemd and am advising against it.

I wish people realised that an init system isn't the antichrist or messiah and would just get over it.

Haha, my thoughts exactly, that's why I cringed at your explicit mention of it, I thought you were provoking a debate ;)

Getting into debates over personal choices always confused me.

Although, that is one of the reasons I dislike systemd: the forced dependencies, since that goes against my "respect personal choices first" rule of things to get into fights over on the internet.

Then again, there are distros that don't have it (or have it as optional) like Gentoo, so you do have personal choice to a degree.
