    Gentoo, Slackware and Devuan can be used without svchost for linux.

    They’ll only stop when they rebrand it to systemd OS.

      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.

        A lot of debs add services to systemd, do those just skip that part?

        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.
