  1. Does it use systemd? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Not trolling (much?)... a distro with a high-profile release, avoiding systemd, might be the opportunity to 'fork' that lots of people are looking for (for better or worse).

    I looked through the FAQ quickly and didn't see any mention so maybe I just didn't RTFA sufficiently. What exactly is GNOME 'fallback'? Is that a version pre-systemd?
