I mean, if your beliefs in the unix philosophy are still strong enough to do away with the convenience that is (or can be…) systemd, you deserve some respect.
I am happy with my system and won’t distrohop again, I am happy with my system and won’t distrohop again, I am happy with my system and won’t distrohop again…
Distro surfing on the side (e.g. with virtual machines, or pendrives, or multiboots, or spare machines), rather than distrohopping for the main daily driver, kept me sane as I surfed (probably) over 1000 distros between 2003 and 2012. Really only had 3 long lasting daily drivers in that time [on my main rig], from suse, to sabayon, to gentoo [and crunchbang and others on the thinkpad].
All my rabid distro surfing (~ not distrohopping, honest! lol) stopped, when I found the cheatcode…
Upvoted, for being the only one to mention
so far.

… Just in case that mantra fails.
One can use a different init system for a reason such as reduced attack surface. OpenRC ihas much lighter codebase than systemd.
