#Slackware, @Devuan, and #Antix are free by design.
#Gentoo, to me, had the best approach: gives you choice of init system.
@itsfoss@0x0 @itsfoss Yes I am aware some do. That's why I mentioned one that does and said 95%, not 100%.
Unfortunately, the other 95% are heavily built around it.
And then, as I said, problems arise because so is a lot of software.
Options existing is great, but they're so underutilized and undersupported that right now, systemd has a lot of power in the Linux world. And that is a problem.
Linux can indeed, as a whole, move away fairly quickly if people put in the effort. But will they? You'd be surprised how many things just capitulate when a bit of effort might be involved in a thing. My bet is what we will see is a bunch deciding what it does right now is too small to fight and just let it happen, then it grows in increments over time, each too small to fight...

@itsfoss@0x0 gentoo is the best linux distribution, hands down. It requires a little bit more knowledge to get fluent in it, but when you do, having the ability to modify use flags/tailor your system as you need to ... it's great. I've got my entire system wired up with debug flags, for instance, so if i hit something strange in my software, I just inspect it. I can patch it if needed and then push the change upstream ; it's great, and is what computing promised to be before it was locked down.

@itsfoss ¿FreeDOS "age verification"?
