..could be you have systemd crud onboard that you wanna drop.
Also, it could be your hardware, as in "which laptop?"

..most of my crud links to /lib/systemd/.

..help us ID packages to build from source, help us find ways to
translate systemdisms into other sys init isms where relevant.

..systemd is much more than an init these days, it appears capable
of subverting or protecting e.g. Tor privacy protection systems,
it's used in https://www.qubes-os.org/ and https://tails.boum.org/
and is endorsed by people like Edward Snowden, who is either right,
or wrong, in: https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/781493632293605376

..me, I'd like to see a systemd-free qubes-os style host OS.
