        Just use the normal procedure for switching to sysvinit (or openrc) + elogind. Easy to perform if you still have your install media.

          On Debian?? That’s news to me.

            It’s actually well-documented in their wiki (yeah, I know, it’s 2025 people don’t read that because it’s not Discord and that shit). Tho i recommend adding Antix’s nosystemd repo if you do that on systems that are not Sid, because the packaging of some important high-level tools is stupidly tied to systemd for some weird reason (NetworkManager being a good example) and the upstreams refuse to unfuck it (which is as simple as restoring the init script those upstreams already used to have).

              Intentional hard-linking.

              I went gentoo once debian forced systemd on its users, i wasn’t aware they sorta backtracked, nice to know.
              Slackware and Devuan fill my other needs so i have no plans to go back to Debian.
