Not sure why the downvotes on this? Systemd is bloated and known to present security risks. Don't see why looking at alternatives wouldn't be seen as positive growth.

This is why I decided to not use Google services this Graphene install. I have zero doubt Google is going to try and lock down the ability to use anything outside of the PlayStore in an IOS type move. Just hope a better Linux based phone gets done quickly because I'm not sure how many iterations of alternate Android OS generations will be able to exist as they lock things down.
Mint. I used to distro hop so much and just got tired of having to reload everything. That was the last one I had done prior to having no more time to switch. ๐ Plus, it just works and it's easy.
Ah, I get what you mean now by inflammatory statements (after a thorough reread) and why there may have been downvotes from that. Though interestingly, I didn't feel my comment was very inflammatory and it got downvoted too. ๐
I was looking at it more from just a standpoint of systemd itself, and honestly, just looking at it from the standpoint that fedora and rhel can tend to be industry leaders for change. Honestly, if RHEL and Ubuntu together made some sort of meaningful change from a system perspective, I think we would see that move downstream.
As far as my use of the term bloated, I'm looking at it strictly from a standpoint for the amount of code that goes into the system. The more code you have, the more entries for security risks. I'm not saying that there's anything that's particularly better out there right now, but I think we should always be looking for alternatives regardless of what your views are for the people that created the code. KISS philosophy, basically. That and being open to change to avoid stagnation.
