Unfortunately, I followed these steps and sysvinit works but everything wants to remove it. It doesn't look like there's any way to update-alternatives to your init. I am not a fan of systemd myself but I started using Pipewire to make Linux audio more bearable and it's a bit of a hassle without systemd for now. Since I'm on Sid, if something changes I'll be the first to know. Maybe sooner or later we'll see if Debian packages become more init-independent.
Hi Hunter,
I'm running Debian Bullseye with sysvinit on servers, workstations, laptops, and VPSs with no problems. The only desktop we use is TDE but we do also run a few Gnome applications under TDE.
Bullseye is better than Buster where I did have to use some old Stretch init scripts to make things work.
What is conflicting with sysvinit on your system?
