Also most projects that promote not using systemd are weird ideologues at this point.
I guess literally anyone who knows it's a bloated idiosyncratic pile of garbage which introduces unnecessary attack surface. Guessing you've never used any of the alternate modern init systems.
I maintain all kinds of crap, some systemd, some non-systemd, some straight up busybox. Systemd is not easier to use for almost any of my use cases. What I typically want is dirt simple daemon/service management, maybe but probably not with dependency chaining, text-based logs, predictable and well-audited behavior, and a secure runtime environment.
Graphene is designed to restrict a lot of choices (and root access) to be secure by default, Lineage is designed to give you root control over everything. Very different approaches.
