Alpine Linux experiments with systemd compatibility while keeping its lightweight identity
Sigh ...
systemd reminds me of the plague.
Although i've never bothered before I also upgraded desktop cpu, prob not worth it over the 3900X i had but its a bit faster. #openrc is so fast you dont get to see anything before xdm pops up.
Now 32GB probably isn't enough #ram but that'll have to do.
Thought id fucked up the install as the first boot takes a long time, but it went smoothly after that.
So much for '#SystemD is not a monolith' guilt tripping. It's modular in theory alone. #Flatpak is the next critical software to introduce a hard dependency on systemd, after #Gnome. Those of us using #Runit, #OpenRC, #GNUShepherd etc are looking at a situation similar to #elogind.
What's common among them? A corporate #OpenSource ecosystem that only they can maintain. Meanwhile, those who question this are treated with contempt!

My current desktop.
Devuan GNU/Linux 6, OpenRC, XLibre and XFCE4. Nothing particularly modern or flashy, but stable, light and made to my liking.

I guess since the whole "Flatpak creating a dependency on systemd" bullshit has surfaced this week there has been some other conversations about systemd going on throughout the Fediverse.
I've seen some oblique references to Debian making an effort to make OpenRC more viable as an alternate init system. That's about all I've gathered on my hit-n-run timeline surfing the last several days. Not sure if this is an official Debian project or just someone's wish list.
Anyone have the skinny? Links to actual discussions?
