How practical is it to run a simplified init program like this instead of systemd for a desktop Linux system?<p>It feels like as a Linux user one has to make the choice between software freedom (and software ethics) and an easily maintained, attractive desktop experience. As a Fedora user, I&#x27;m very used to GNOME and all of the comforts that it provides, but I&#x27;d consider switching to Gentoo sans systemd for the sake of making a stand against bad practice in the software community.
