I got tired of LMDE and am a longtime lover of XFCE (though haven’t used it in years) and I gotta say this is a distro that feels like a distinct distro for once. Comes with an amazing set of tools__ the way OpenSUSE does, especially the GUI package manager and the ability to make a bootable live ISO of your running system. Definitely not your normal Debian derivative IMO. Definitely a distro I slept on for a long time. Choice of init system too is chefs kiss for all the systemD haters. The antiX foundation is nice too as I agree on their values 100%, but that distro is too minimal for my needs.
Hm? They were Systemd-only for a while but brought back choice of inits recently?
Well, let’s see how this goes. From what i understand, distros are either Systemd-only, no-Systemd or a mess of shims and wrappers.
That’s called “sysv init”.
There’s also runit, s6, dinit and more, just so you know.
At first i thought you meant just choosing an init with the installation ISO like Artix, but according to the article you can choose an init at boot, that’s pretty cool.
