im attempting to select a linux distribution to put on a computer
and im getting kind of overwhelmed with all the differences that i don't know the implications of. like, foobar linux uses x desktop environment and y package manager and z init system, but bazqux linux uses a whole different set of stuff
and it's not really clear to me how much committing to one locks me out of other stuff. like, iirc there's a bunch of stuff that depends on systemd? so what if i get a distro with runit instead
@typhlosion you can have separate partitions for your system and your home folder and just reinstall if you don't like it
but also I've been using systemd distros (mostly bog standard debian) since it was a thing and I never felt like I needed anything else?
