  • SystemD isnt exactly a program but more of a group of projects, the only “core” SystemD software on most distros is the init system… Which you can run completely without SystemD’s UserDB system (the part being talked about in the post).

    Basically this means you as a user dont have to do anything but switch away from projects that depend on SystemD’s UserDB (like Gnome), not SystemD as a whole

    However if you do want to move away from SystemD as a whole you can replace your init system with another one, gentoo’s wiki is a good starting point for learning a bit more: wiki. Personally I love using openrc but of you have no need to touch init files… Dont switch

  • If your truely going the endevour route, here some tips on recoving from a broken state:

    • The archwiki is your friend, read the relevant pages before asking on forums

    • Learn the basics of systemD, will also help you on 99% of mainstream distros

    • Keep your /home directory on a seperate partition, useful for doing a system rescue and for distrohopping
