Hoping to not offend proponents of systemd/firewalld...

Linux kernel is already containing chunks of code related to systemd/firewalld and friends. One can disable stuff during kernel build, but the result it still is not like the result of building kernel before the existence of systemd/firewalld. Also, it is likely that at some point systemd-free Linux distribution(s) may fade away.

That said, if one is strongly willing to stay away from systemd, and not to such extent into Linux as to needing an advise on that, I would recommend to take a look at non-Linux system, specifically BSD descendants (FreeBSD, NetBSD, etc). Their kernel is not as heavy (big,resource demanding) as Linux kernel, and you can do pretty much everything one needs (except maybe computer games, although these will fall mostly into MS Windows scope). I for one have FreeBSD on my laptop (with alternative boot into Debian, the last being systemd though...).

I hope, this helps.

Good afternoon from Singapore,

What are the differences between systemd and non-systemd Linux distros?

Is systemd implemented in all the latest Linux distros?

Please advise. Thank you.



My advice is to go and read up on the original design goals of systemd.
The information is out there.  We had this discussion here years ago
when we were staring and the impending transition.

Read the archives on the angst the change engendered and the adjustment
to the new methodology.

They say that the Internet never forgets, so you should be able to find
the original discussions and make your own judgment call.
