>The trend to get rid of systemd and its metastasis into most of Linux is excellent news.

I don't know where you're seeing this trend, really. For all major distros, it's been the opposite thus far.

However it's slowing changing. Knoppix has always been seen as a trend setter, and it still has a large influence where it matters - open source maintainers that are not corporate-driven (i.e. Debian).

Knoppix hasn't been seen as a trendsetter in an extremely long time that I know of. I remember it being a big deal before live CDs became a thing that everyone did, but that's about it.

This clashes with my worldview. Knoppix hasn't felt relevant in at least a decade, and if there's influence to Debian, I don't see it.

Exactly, I actually thought Knoppix was abandoned .. The current trend setters I would say are Arch/Nix/Alpine/Ubuntu and their derivatives.

Knoppix a trendsetter, yeah, maybe in 1995 lol
