Another distro chooses dinit over systemd

Of systemd and my objection to it I can refer back to an earlier post I made about Debian 13 and the problem I have faced getting SMB shares to appear on the desktop as they always have in the past prior to Debian 13.

It seems from research I have done that the problem stems from systemd . The issue is still not fully resolved although I did find a workaround which partly solved it. What I’, struggling with now using the GNPOME Extension Network Share Automount is the inability to change the text displayed for the share underneath the desktop icon which insists on displaying the IP address of the SMB share from the NAS which was not a feature of the arrangement prior to the need for this extension only because of the decision to use systemd. I haven’t spun up a copy of Kaos yet, but might just see if that fixes things for me. Will it run in Boxes?
