SalixOS May Inherit Lots of New Users Soon

On the MX-Linux forums there is renewed interest in the systemd problem, since Debian Buster (MX is based on Debian Stable) will make it much for difficult to use the "shim" work-around. MX "has" systemd as a dependency for some apps and tools, but doesn't use it somehow. Fine for now, but when MX-19 comes out it may be impossible to avoid systemd, and SalixOS may pick up a bunch of new users!
I know this probably just a totally unrealistic dream, but since both distros seem to have the same mission, it would be awesome to see some collaboration between SalixOS developers and MX-Linux developers! The MX-Linux toolbox is awesome for "Lazy Debianers," and to see some of that implemented in our beloved SalixOS, and perhaps find a way to keep MX systemd-safe, would make both distros better!
Yup, probably totally unrealistic, since Debian and Slackware are so different from one another. But either way, we might be getting a whole buncha new users here coming from the "new rising star" on distrowatch, if and when they find it impossible to work around systemd.
