KaOS 2026.06 RC: التوزيعة المستقلة تتخلى عن systemd وتتبنى Dinit و Niri
أصدرت KaOS الإصدار التجريبي 2026.06 RC، الذي يمثل خطوة جذرية في مسار التوزيعة. تتخلى عن systemd كمدير تهيئة وخدمات، وتستبدله بـ Dinit، مع استبدال KDE Plasma بـ Niri/Noctalia في صورة النظام، واعتماد greetd و Limine، مع...

I'd like to do the same, but am struggling with testing how to move the stuff I do in #docker over to something suitable in #freebsd15
Because some of the containers are not of my own making, I'm going to have to learn quite a bit to reproduce them and the security within them for #vpns etc.
I'm still interested in trying to see if #freebsd15 can be an option for me, but I'm also going through a handful of options in #linux with #systemd free distros and trying to stay away from the likes of #wayland and #pipewire also.
Current favourite is #artixlinux as they have made the effort to decouple the pid1 init system with additional packages for some of the daemon-type services. I like #dinit a lot, but am also testing #openrc too.

At least there's still a bit of common sense somewhere ...
Ah, KaOS has released an RC of their distro that has a different, init system, dinit. The Niri+Noctalia Shell as the WM, which is actually very usable out the box (with graphical toggles for traditionally config file changes).
There are limited packages and that would pose some minor challenges, I would have to build/maintain certain programs and their dependencies. I am not yet ready for that kind of challenge, so I am going to keep looking at KaOS and build up my skill before deciding to try it out!
Now, KaOS does offer Flatpak support and that would shore up my available software...But most offerings are just wrappers rather than actual official ones in my case.
KaOS is migrating to Dinit. Have you ever used it?
