I do, Suse 11.4 on an old laptop and another machine, because of
some specific capabilities. Also looked at Devuan, but Linux
is not the be all and end all of operating systems. FreeBSD is
an excellent alternative, and very professional in it's
development process. So is Open Indiana Hipster, a spin off from
the original open Solaris project. That gets ever better, and
with a fraction of the development effort and funding that goes
into Linux. Loads of os choice these days, depending on project
need and application.

Anyway, you still, again, haven't answered the question as to
the systemd usp and what is so special about it ?. C'mon, you
seem to think it's so good, then you must have a good reason,
or is it just fashion of the month ?...
