If you don't mind me asking, what is bad about systemd is there a post anywhere?
Yeah, I was having a whinge about it here the other day. Just a sec while I dig up the corpse...
But if you want to read more about how why others hate systemd, there's no shortage of material:

I hate systemd, but my Gentoo is running gnome just fine with openrc.
Indeed, it seems I was wrong. However, I've just had a look at the "Gnome without systemd project" for Gentoo. The fact it is an entire project kinda supports my point.
I mean, just have a look at that project and how much effort it takes to run Gnome without systemd. It would almost be easier to install LFS.
You're not wrong. Never the less I'm thankfull that some people took the effort to make stuff run without crapd.
