Clearly you've made a mistake by even getting onboard the distro train in the first place.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_from_Scratch

Linux From Scratch is a way to install a working Linux system by building all components of it manually. This is, naturally, a longer process than installing a pre-compiled Linux distribution. According to the Linux From Scratch site, the advantages to this method are a compact, flexible and secure system and a greater understanding of the internal workings of the Linux-based operating systems.[5]

Tbh, that's a kinda boring question. Only total beginners will have a strong opionion. Everyone who's been around the block for a while knows that you use the right tool for the right job and also understands that people have different preferences.

If there really was a clear "best Linux distro" for all use cases, then there would not be Linux distros but one clear winner that everyone uses.

There's a bunch of good distros, there are enough lists of them, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. That's as far as you'll get with posts like this.

And it's quite plain to see that the crowd here is a bit more adult than the kids in the Linux subs on Reddit.

Why? I mean I've read talking points for having systemd and for not. What's your take?

TBH it has not really been an issue for me. My biggest real beef is just that I prefer just having regular text files in /var/log instead of using journalctl. And I feel like it's a Microsoft-style monolith that flies in the face of the Unix philosophy that I honor and revere.

If it helps, you can turn that crap off and get log files, I need to do this on the homelab. But at work we setup syslog so that we can get Aws to ingest them, yes I know AWS and all that. Not my choice.
