Hi

There are a number of things you’d have to change. Startup is just one of them. Systemd is used to handle services (background applications) as well as to mount squashfs filesystems on startup.

You could certainly run snapd without systemd but those things would have to be tackled first with appropriate abstractions in the code. If you are interested in this then please let’s work together and make systemd an optional dependency.
