Using Linux without systemd really goes to show you how simple Linux actually is and how much crap systemd tries to do. All my machines boot to nothing but a tty with maybe a few other daemons and my entire user startup is contained in a shell script. I really appreciate it that way because I always know exactly what software I'm running.

I'm the same with booting into a tty. Starting up with easy to read shell scripts (like just being able to edit .xinitrc) is exactly how I want everything to work :)

I'd hope "linux" users might have a little better awareness of the attack surface of systemd after xz, but I'm usually disappointed. Tech bros and big tech are absolutely ruining Linux to the point that you have to go pretty far out of the circle now to get a good distro that understands unix philosophy and KISS principals. Void and Gentoo are pretty much my go-to's, even then I blacklist a good number of packages.
