[–] juipeltje@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 child) Idk, i mean there's Artix. I've used Void for like 2 years and gaming was fine. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] decolo@piefed.social 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 child) Your options are limited significantly if you want to avoid it, but yes, there are options. I use a steam deck primarily and while I can re install the OS, it's a significant amount of fiddling for a worse experience. My issue with systemd is not that it's 'hard to use' or anything. My issue is that it's getting harder to avoid as time goes on. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] juipeltje@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago Yeah that's true. On the desktop since i was already using more DIY-type distros it's not that difficult to avoid it, but with a more specialized usecase like the steam deck it's hard to find something that mimicks the SteamOS experience without using systemd, or at least there's not an OOTB experience distro for that as far as i know. I'm still using the stock SteamOS on my deck for that reason, it doesn't feel worth it to replace, especially since i only use mine to game and don't tinker with it like my desktop. permalink fedilink source parent
