I think I would have preferred sudo apt-get remove --purge systemd
Yeah, some old habits never die.

Stupidity is entertaining.
You can switch seamlessly between systemd and openrc on gentoo. Although it might be worth using one of the debian derivatives in this user's case - not sure they should be messing with their system too much!
I updated my sources.list to something non-existing at some point and run sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade -y && sudo apt autoremove once and it also basically uninstalled everything. But that didn't even matter, I popped in a recovery disk and could reinstall everything. Pretty great to be able to do all that with Linux, fuck everything up in an instant but after a few hours everything is back again
Well you could have saved those hours if you were on one of those restrictive OSs. I mean why would anyone even wanna do that? /s
