Remember Darwin; building a better mousetrap merely results in smarter mice.

Is PCLinuxOS a reasonable replacement for say, mint? I myself use crux primarily, but sometimes I have to put together a machine for someone less technically adept. Thus far I've been sticking with systemd-less debian, and it's ok. But I would prefer to use and support something a little more-future-proof and... I never thought I'd get to say this... better made than debian.

In my humble opinion, yes it is, it also has Mate and Cinnamon of you like those desktops, plus it's a rolling release, install once use always, I myself have made some community ISO'S of trinity (see sig), KDE and Mate so people can use it without downloading 10 months worth of updates :) the community is small yet very friendly :)

Great, I'll give it a try and see how I like it. I see it has LXDE too which is what I usually put on machines to be used by people who do not like/know tiling WMs. I personally like trinity quite a bit too, and it's pretty easy for someone to get the hang of so I might actually give that a shot as well.
Good to know that there are still a lot of people holding out against systemd. Even after losing some of the better known distros there are still quite a few options. I know people say linux isn't about choice but that's one of the biggest reasons I love it.

"I know people say linux isn't about choice but that's one of the biggest reasons I love it."
Linux has always been about choice. Linus has said so many times. GNU / the GPL have always been about freedom. (Read the GNU manifesto.) The GPL has allowed programmers who care about software freedoms some assurance that their work and derivatives of it can be legally encumbered only to the exact degree allowed by the license.

You hear the opposite a lot.

I like my choice though so you won't get a lot of argument out of me.

The post about pulseaudio gives interesting insight into the mindset that may be pervasive in the systemd crowd. I haven't yet seen a software situation where user choice couldn't be maintained *and* supplied with good defaults that take care of the users who don't want or need the choice.
