I'm using Linux since the Slackware-on-a-CDRom days and systemd is a lost cause: it only got worse and worse and only kept meddling more and more into the Linux ecosystem.
The XZ "I only work on systemd distro" backdoor was the final straw (people are going to say it's unrelated but the fact is there: non-systemd Linux distro weren't affected).
I've been gradually switching my workflow to VMs and containers and my idea is to, eventually, run the VMs under FreeBSD's bhyve instead of running them from a systemd Linux distro (Proxmox in my case).
At long last I should soon be, once again, totally free of systemd (last time it was before it existed).

Don't be misled by the title. I thoroughly recommend listening to the whole thing.
