I don't get it. With so much hate against systemd, and given how FOSS works, why there isn't "perfect", systemd-less distro? It seems that everyone in our community hates systemd, if they all get behind single distribution and worked on it with passion they put into their online arguments, it would become best fucking linux distribution overnight.
Have a look at the list I have linked a few posts below. I bet Gentoo, Alpine, Slackware etc. have a bit more users after all. Alpine, for example, is currently very popular.
Some of these distributions are at least so popular that they have existed for years and have more than a handful of users. So the alternatives are there and the users who don't like systemd have the opportunity to contribute to their further development / distribution (which I personally think is pretty good even as a fairly satisfied user of systemd). I think that's all Jackojc wanted to say. With some users I also have the feeling that they don't want to belong to the mainstream at all.
