    If that's what you're after, you'll certainly have to add FreeBSD users (like myself), too.

    FreeBSD is a story apart, it's a real and pure unix like early systemV unixes. Linux isn't a pure Unix. :) This is the reason because we were infected with Systemd. :(

    Slackware still is systemd free as well, up to and including the slackware-current version.

    Ah, well, not really. FreeBSD is discussing adopting something like Apple's launchd for ages now. All I can hope for is that if they ever do, it'll be properly done, and not in the poor way of systemd. This pos is still too stupid to get my systems reliably booted with early nfs mounts.
    I heard a talk by LP when systemd was very new (or not even released), must have been in 2010 or so. Back then I was silently laughing my ass off and thought that this crazy stuff would never be widely adopted... how wrong I was.

    I hope so, and I hope that FreeBSD developer will be so smart to leave to sysadmins the choice to choose the init they like instead to force only LP.

    I'm not saying that the concept as such is flawed. For me, it's rather the implementation and the management that drove me off from day 1 (+ that it deliberately broke everything I was relying on). This is amplyfied by the fact that the machines I care about have practically nothing to gain from faster boot times, have no dynamic network changes, no hardware changes, no virtualization... So there is not much to gain from systemd for me.

    Elaborating on that, I concur with Benno that FreeBSD is actually lacking a solution to fill the place that is filled by systemd on Linux. But as I wrote before, I hope this to be done in a better way by FreeBSD folks than LP did it for Linux.
