Voting with their feet? As a non-OS developer, I have a very limited distribution selection if I want to use a popular choice receiving more support , bug fixes, etc. Sure, I could run a less popular distribution that foregoes systemd, but what happens when I encounter an issue with wifi, sound, etc. Can I get CUDA or Steam to work on a periphery OS?

Systemd is chosen for me because there is so much more to an OS.

It is chosen for you democratically by people that actually bother fixing those problems for you, for mostly free. Debian has voted multiple times on it, with systemd winning hands down each time.

Maybe we should listen to their expertise, shouldn’t we?
