There was a discussion here a few days ago about systemd. I don't have a religious<br>
opinion about it but I also don't want to play sysadmin at home. Like, ever.<br>
<br>
Long story short, ran into a problem on my cheap Dell laptop running CentOS that, while<br>
systemd was only the partial culprit it obscured the more serious problem to the point<br>
that I'd just as soon never see that on a personal, one-off system again.<br>
<br>
It's fine when I'm spinning up 200 virtual instances, configuring with automation and<br>
destroy and create whenever I want but not my home box. Where I save all my old<br>
bits and bytes.<br>
<br>
Anybody have a recommendation for that scenario? I'm agnostic when it comes to<br>
debian vs rh vs solaris vs bsd. Really don't need anything except the ability<br>
to read/write via USB 2 or 3 of all my data, boot from a minimal local drive (500GB)<br>
and support Ethernet and WiFi. I don't really care about windowing systems as<br>
long as it doesn't get in the way too much.<br>
<br>
Any on-the-ground experience of a distro that can be installed without systemd<br>
is appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Joe<br>
