Okay, I'm down to it here. I need to decide which non-#systemd OS I'm switching to (for the next five minutes, anyway; curse my DistroHopper nature...)
Here's the list I'm down to, although I am open to suggestions:
* **#Alpine**: PRO - Super fast and lightweight, I'm fairly familiar with the toolset; CON: Limited package set and support, no easy path for Noctalia/Dank install
* **#Artix**: PRO: Based on Arch with Arch tooling including Pacman and AUR access. Easy install. CON: Embracing #xLibre, which is run by a... fellow of questionable beliefs, let's be nice. Would have to do extra work to run Wayland instead with uncertain future
(continued, 1 of 2)
