    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.

          They seem to. Debian explicitly supports multiple init systems, sysvinit being the primary alternative, so packages have to handle systemd-init not being there.

        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.
