Slackware.
MX Linux.
Devuan.
<a few more>

Gentoo can run on either. My BBS runs under CentOS though, as
it was just easier to deal with for the most part.

at some point I need to move it to CentOS 8 or 9. Or maybe Rocky.

Okay..... but <confused look> that isn't going to solve anything
regarding using 'systemd', which is what the whole point of my comment
was...

Are you locked in to running it only on RedHat variants, or something?

Maybe he prefers it because of familiarity? I certainly prefer Debian, although I started on Slackware in the early 90's, and use SuSE at work currently (because we're licensed, and run software packaged for it) and Amazon Linux, because that's the best-supported distro to run on an EC2 instance.

I can hate systemd and still use it.

RedHat variants are my OS of choice for systems I want to "just work" because I'm familiar with them.

Sure. Just seems a little odd. I also hate systemd and won't use a
distro for that very reason.

Okey dokey.

For the most part, I don't have that luxury. managing thousands of CentOS boxes is my day job. At least until everything moves over to Kubernetes.

I'm running into an issue where my system will lock up due to too
many open files. It's been happening for a couple months. I upped
the open file limit, but that didn't seem to help.

Digital Man submitted a fix this afternoon which may address the open
files issue. Mine seem to be at a steady level for now so you may want
to update.
