Because of the ubiquity, nay, monopoly of _systemd_ I always assumed it was miles ahead of other init systems. Nope. I've been using a non-systemd …

One thing I’m learning in a non-systemd distro: you have to be the architect of your own service tree. Using Dinit on Artix means if an app (like Mullvad) can't find its daemon, you just gotta check the waits-for dependencies. Sometimes it's a simple pacman -S, other times it’s a quick edit to a service file. It’s more manual, but it is worth it.

Chimera Linux does things differently: the distro is built from scratch, musl instead of glibc, init is dinit, FreeBSD userland, ...

Fresh install on my Thinkpad using OpenZFS and ZFSBootMenu. Curious to explore further. I'm thinking of a setup where Chimera is my desktop and FreeBSD on a home server.

I am now testing Artix with Cinnamon running Dinnit. The installation was super simple and setting up all of my normal applications was simple. Next is to test out gaming with Steam. So, here is my #Hyfetch with Macchina.

Artix Linux sure looks appealing all of a sudden. I think I might go ahead and install the Cinnamon edition with Dinit on my desktop. I've been wanting to do some distro hopping here lately, anyways.

Dinit 0.21.0 now out. https://github.com/davmac314/dinit/releases/tag/v0.21.0

This is the 10th beta release, which feels a bit ridiculous, but that's the price of quality! A few bugs came up since 0.20.0 that were (while rarely encountered) nasty enough to warrant an interim release, before 1.0. Which is planned (again) to be the next release, barring any further serious issues.

The focus now is really on testing and cleanup, so it's not impossible more bugs will be found - but hopefully there are none to find!
