#krita 6 based on Qt6 and many new KDE dependencies seems to need systemd indirectly to function. To build a non-systemd version would take many K-pkgs being rebuilt.

KDE/plasma/Qt platform is so involved in providing a linux-Windows alternative, just like Gnome, that are becoming just a theme alternative to IBM/RH-Windows replacing MS

There are a few Gui projects that totally neglect that there is linux without systemd

"There is so much hate and envy against those that choose NOT to use systemd" Why?

Now all is needed is a distribution that would demonstrate how all this can practically work, like #Obarun and #66

I am willing to bet that #Void having lost excitement in #runit will jump on this, or someone will create a fork for it. Since #void has maintained the s6 stack for some time now, it would be a short step away.

Then again, having s6-frontend enable elogind is a bit of a defeat, like an ex-alcoholic taking a sip of rum .. fixated at getting gnome and plasma crap running for "customers".

Installed #Slackware last night. Quietly impressed. A lot easier than the last time.
Reason for trying? Fed up with #obarun (#arch) breaking after update.
Also going to checkout #artix, & yes I know it's arch based! But it also uses #S6 as #init, which is what I'm interested in.

@codythedragonrude
I can recommend #obarun Linux with the s6 init system & #plan9 for something a little more challenging/different

🤣🤪 I've used Arch Linux, didn't brag about. I don't now.
Although looking at #obarun because of S6 init looks very interesting.
