Clarification:
The current AV Linux (23.2) carries the MX Linux ability to boot sysvinit by default but systemd is also an option that can be selected in MX-Tools-->Boot Options.. I personally have no init preference and no dogs in the (often uninformed and silly) epic init fights. It is a fact that Enlightenment is developed with systemd in mind and the Debian defaults for Enlightenment assume it is being used with systemd so even though currently AVL installs with the MX default sysvinit I recommend once installed that most Users will benefit from choosing the systemd boot option..
Current ISO development and all future AVL versions will utilize systemd-only running live and in subsequent installs, this is to make a better live and installed experience and accommodate Enlightenment's systemd leanings.
I don't want to be either falsely modest or conceited but I will say AV Linux is not necessarily mainstream or super geared to beginners. If you want a big 'enterprise' Linux experience that is quite similar to Windows then Ubuntu Studio will probably be to your liking, AV Linux has more apps, more variety and far deeper customization and optimizations which are allegedly 'too much' for a lot of people. It's Desktop Environment is light and fast with pleasant compositing but it's a bit unrefined compared to the Big three (Gnome, KDE, XFCE4) so that may be cool for non-conformists but it tends to annoy people who expect it to behave like one of the Big three.. In guitar amp terms Ubuntu Studio is a Fender or a Marshall and AV Linux is likely a Dumble or a Dr. Z and if you don't know what a Dumble is then that's probably a good indicator that AV Linux is probably not going to be your cup of tea..
