What if you could take back control of your system? No systemd. No journalctl drama. Just tools that do one thing and do it well. In this video, we compare systemd-free operating systems — from Slackware to Artix to FreeBSD — and match them to real-world use cases like development, audio production, privacy, and minimal hardware. Includes benchmark results and a few surprises along the way.
