PClinuxOS is a far derivative of redhat via Mandriva, itself Conectiva and Mandrake, both of them RHL (not RHEL) forks.

And it’s free of Systemd. And it’s rolling.

I ran sysvinit on a 4mb daily-driver machine forever. That’s not a flex; that’s just a comparison for bloat since sysvinit wasn’t using but a tiny portion of that. What the hell can lennart’s cancer offer at the cost of at least 5x the ram used by an entire OS and apps?

that would require that level [of] lightness for a distro

Goal Of Least Fuckery.

Wow.

It’s

• built bad
• … by the uncooperative
• … for the wrong reasons
• incredibly frail
• indivisible
• a logically incomplete and unsound replacement for everything it supplants
• the poster-child for bad ideas pushed into the mainstream with browbeating and gaslighting
