2025 hardcore list of 21 linux distributions without elogind and other systemd parts

Welcome antiX and Noir linux to the strict list, with edition 23 antiX is fully functional and lighter than ever without a trace of elogind!

        Edited:  October 4th 2025 (replacing older strict list)

This list is going to be short and there may be a sublist of distros with a medium strict standard.  We shall explain what the object is, below the short list (which we hope the community will assist in making longer as we have not been able to currently review the work of every distro and fork).

The end is near … fork the end and move on X-org-files

Is X11 Xserver dying in a classic RedHat way, “pull the plug and let it rot advertising with 90% of tech-media on the pay-roll that X is dead!”

Hello,

I do not think the original post, by Enrico Weigelt, to the xorg-devel
mailinglist made its way thru, tho freebsd-x11 was CC’d.

Anyways, if anyone missed it, here it is:

Hello everybody,

this morning, Redhat employees banned me from the freedesktop.org gitlab
infrastructure – so censored all my work (not just on Xorg). They killed
my account, my git repos, my tickets in Xorg and closed all my merge
requests. And then making fun on social media about it.
