is MX the only distro with both sysvinit and systemd?
I learned from https://mxlinux.org/wiki/system/systemd/ that MX includes both systemd and sysvinit: it uses sysvinit by default but can switch to systemd if desired. I think this is the best possible compromise between sides in the war between systemd users and sysvinit users, which I have heard is absurdly overheated. Is MX unique in offering both init managers? If there is another popular distro that offers both, I'm not aware of it.

on the same iso, yes.
bound to be someone out there with the choice on a per-iso basis.

FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.

Artix is an Arch-based derivative that provides several ISOs offering a different init system on each, one of many I'm sure. Even mainline Debian offers alternative inits, though these must be downloaded and installed by the user. Neither of these distros make the choice of init a "pick one at boot time and run with it" decision.dolphin_oracle wrote: Sun Mar 23, 2025 7:45 pm bound to be someone out there with the choice on a per-iso basis.

antiX init diversity ships with several inits on one iso.
The guy who built it also produced one for MX - https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic ... ty-respin/
