Not GP, but I'm running OpenBSD on a laptop, not in a datacenter. I have a small Alpine VM that I often forget about. I also have Debian 12 on a Mac Mini and while it's systemd, it could be OpenRC for all that I care about it.

I can see a case for systemd on a server, but have never seen the point on user-facing distro.

“vmm” is a toy compared to kvm/libvirt.

I assume Intel? I haven’t paid attention to Linux on Macs in a long time. But I love Devuan for this reason.

I’m not even arguing against systemd or not.

I’m just stating that Linux being technologically inferior because of something-something corporate overlords is… silly
