Debian Jesse is going to have Gnome3 as the default desktop.

The desktop re-qualification page, used to help choose which desktop will be default, has in the Jesse version a weight for systemd integration, and of course only Gnome3 does it (at least for now). This will surely make the systemd/gnome3 fanbase happy, but possibly will make others unhappy, as it [may] be seen as another step towards mono-culture, until we soon end up with all distros being redhat clones.

      I just did out of curiosity, doesn't work. And a bunch of stuff ended up missing from /sbin/ in the process including reboot, shutdown. When I reset the VM it now fails to boot with "Target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init"

        apt-get install systemd
        apt-get install systemd-sysv
        reboot

        now running systemd

        apt-get remove systemd-sysv
        apt-get install sysvinit
        reboot

        now running sysvinit

        apt-get remove systemd now works.

          that's a magnitude less than optimal.

          well, I guess I stick with Mint for now. but keep an eye open for a new option that skips systemd.

          i guess if you remove an init system its kinda implicit that you install another

          hopefully in the final release they'll make the install of sysvinit automatic when removing systemd (same as the old gdm3 to gdm and many others)
