since i linked to it, i decided it was time to update the formatting on that old ass blog post. incidentally, if anyone has a recommendation for an accessible distro that doesnt rely on systemd, let me know.
artix is pretty good. it's as easy to install as endeavouros and not much harder to use. i recommend using it with openrc because that seems to be the most documented/mature alternative init system, although runit is nice too.
Also, since userdb.json's an editable json file that most distros don't fill in anyway, i was wondering what the legal implications are in america in case that json file is just empty. probably the same as if it doesn't exist, right?
Oops just realized you mentioned that Devuan is broken, I should have done more research before suggesting! I just moved to fedora but am already thinking of trying VoidLinux after their weird ai comments / the systemd debacle, It does suck theres not more options for intermediate users.

Debian does in fact have official support for one systemd alternative: sysvinit https://wiki.debian.org/Init
I admittedly don't know much about, but IIRC you use Debian, and Devuan is a fork of debian without Systemd.
