Indeed, which is why its important to have an init
system that works.
And why RHEL, SLE, Fedora, openSUSE, Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Arch, CentOS, Manjaro,
Mageia and more use it either exclusively or by default.

There's something to be said for going with the main flow no matter its warts.
So why bother saying that derivative distros are a
dumb choice if TDE can work
with anything?
Thread context!!! See subject. Ruling out systemd by someone admittedly low in
Linux admin experience because of its early growth foibles and hearsay mostly from
those who were only ever exposed to it while it was young and developing quickly,
if ever, a system that's been mainstream several computing generations, isn't
doing oneself justice. It's like rejecting a Ford Escape because Ford once made
Edsels.
Choice of distro really shouldn't matter to someone who simply wants a TDE
desktop. Distro support for TDE is fungible, whether using sysvint, systemd or
some other init system.
