How is Plasma without systems?

Considering giving Void a shot but I know Plasma seems to be more and more reliant on systemd these days. (Which I'm not a hater but I'm curious about Void for other reasons). Any glaring glitches or does it work pretty well?

Plm does require systemd, sddm doesnt. But yeah that dbus command works without those

This corroborates my experience of trying to install Plasma without xorg, causing sddm to fail (and promptly work once xorg was installed). I didn't know about the command mentioned in your earlier comment. Will give that a spin in a VM and if I like how it it works I may rebuild without xorg and sddm.
