[Discuss] Debian 12 in the Cloud

I've been a Linode customer and I believe you have to use the kernels that
they have modified for Linode. There may be a process to create a system
image with a compatible kernel but then you get into issues when it's time
to upgrade.
Linode has the greater resources anyway so battling against system D seems
like a waste of time. I've accepted that systemd is the way linux works
now, just part of its resource profile.
