Just as a reminder, SoystemD is not the first time Linux has gone through a bloated monopolist takeover.
We have protest distro's like Artix and Devuan (and all its derivatives like antiX, and derivatives on THAT like MX Linux), as well as distro's that let you choose between evil and not evil like Gentoo and Peppermint OS, and distro's that don't use SoystemD in the first place like Void, Alpine, Puppy Linux, Damn Small Linux (RIP), postmarketOS, and a couple more.

In the past the same controversy came up with Apache taking over the entire webserver/reverse proxy space with bloated code, then we got nginx, LighTTPD, and so on.

Another controversy was Gnome 3, which then gave birth to MATE, Cinnamon, LXQt, and more.

Yet another controversy with Audacity, which led to forks like Sneedacity.

Or Oracle taking over everything Sun has made like Java (no alternative for a very long time, but now there's Kotlin, and C# as a similar language to Java), MySQL (MariaDB), OpenOffice (Libre Office), and so on.

And on and on it goes.
So it's not like WinDOS where once Microshaft fucks up, you have no other choice than to just deal with it.
What we free OS masterrace users have that those proprietary OS peasants don't have is choice, and the ability to spin up superior alternatives and move on as soon as some massive project fucks up.
