I have just published Dinit 0.22.0:
https://github.com/davmac314/dinit/releases/tag/v0.22.0
I'm really hoping that this (really this time) be the final release before 1.0 (which likely will come after a few months testing and minor cleanups).
It's an exciting time in the world of Dinit, with several distributions newly offering or considering Dinit as service manager - including antiX and KaOS!

One thing Iβm 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 itβs a quick edit to a service file. Itβs 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.
antiX 26 Linux distribution skips systemd and packs five init systems into a tiny Debian base

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.
