I don't know if my doubt was understood.
I don't want to compare sysvinit with systemd. I want to know if in a system with both pre-installed is there chance of conflicts if choosing one or the other?

Not usually. I run systemd most of the time.

I have been uisng systemd for several months and is my normal boot method. I ocassionally boot sysvinit but not often. I have seen no conflicts. The only diference I see is a faster boot with systemd of two to five seconds.
And I do not need to boot more often with systemd

Thanks Dolphin. I gonna update my image with the just bare one. One of these days I'll look into the script for making my vpn 'just work' with sysvinit. So far using systemd has saved me a ton of downtime. I should probably make a thread.

added a Xfce AHS respin with nvidia 5.10 drivers installed. also uses 5.17 kernel and all latest updates. since nouveau is blacklisted, machines that can't run the latest nvidia drivers should avoid this one. there really isn't any other purpose for this spin other than for later nvidia users that can't use nouvaeu. Otherwise identical to the 21.1 AHS (xfce) release.

tested on an optimus laptop. I don't have a desktop nvidia machine or a dedicated nvidia machine to test with.

Thank you for the excellent respin(s). I installled the latest(nvidia one) and it runs really nice here. Although it still booted with nouveau, but I entered blacklist=nouveau at bootmenu line and the newer nvidia driver loaded perfectly.

RE: the second is a 32 bit iso with the antiX 4.9 kernel, for folks that need that kernel for one reason or another. otherwise its identical to the standard 32bit Xfce iso.

dolphin_oracle,
May i ask a question sir, regarding your fantastic MX 21 respin with the 4.9 kernel, will we be able to update the kernel at some point? If so, will the kernel update be included with regular system updates/upgrades, or manually?
Thanks in advance,

when the update, it would be manual from mx-packageinstaller->Popular Apps->kernels.
