    Even if it is, the biggest problem is that there isn’t today a big distro that is not using it. Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuse, Arch, Debian, are all using systemd. One can say, you can try Void or Artix, Void repos are small, Artix is small (and kind of non-reliable) project. Or go to Gentoo and compile your applications, no ty.

      Gentoo does support binary repos, I haven’t researched them in depth, but creating a binary-only child distribution should be very possible.

          Well if Void Linux is unpopular enough for it to be a problem, are the Gentoo-based ones better in that regard? Like, does it have comparable repositories to gentoo?
