   Systemd is NOT inherently evil. The M$ registry
   is evil, but not systemd. I have boxes with
   systemd - and LIKE that it'll inherently watchdog
   my daemons and others. Have a few others that
   are SysV. Each has their place. For each need ...

   Not to sound like a salesman, but DO look into MX
   Linux. You get EASY options whether to use systemd
   or not. Use grub-customizer to set your main pref,
   but the alt is always easy to get at.
