    Venom Linux no systemd or elogind from scratch
    [14:49] schestowitz[TR]
    [14:49] schestowitz[TR]

    On our strict list sysdfree strict list of distros without any part of systemd there are complete distros that can run without systemd or elogind (Obarun, joborun, antiX), and by complete we mean thousands of packages to choose from, and are some minimal base systems that you will have to build yourself software that will run on those bases. Kiss, chimera, sabotage, mere, can all boot and can [14:49] schestowitz[TR] all build software. (links to Venom to be found in the end of the document)

    I know Im not the only one with multiple Gmail accounts. I have used these accounts for different things over the years and one in particular has been my go-to for free trial sign-ups on the net. Cant have my main Gmail flooded with promotional material, drowning out the important stuff.
