@chjara @Meeper too much going on inside systemd for my comfort.. and why is HomeD is part of systemd? why is my init system controlling my DNS? why is it handling the encryption on my disk? why is it so big? Idk rhetorical questions, you don't have to answer them...

@coyote @chjara @Meeper Any distros other than Funtoo and Devuan are now dead to me, since those are the only ones I know of that still support sysv-init and openrc officially.

@Russtopia @coyote @chjara void artix alpine, etc etc, openrc and sysv really suck tbh try s6 or runit

@Meeper @chjara @coyote I haven’t tried either of those, I’ll check ‘em out thanks!

May I ask why you didn’t like openrc? Maybe I’m just not fussy enough but it seemed fine for my needs so far :) (I dont’ mind sh scripts in /etc/init.d/ at all, so perhaps I just am used to them…)

@Russtopia @chjara @coyote It's a little clunky and borrows a lot of garbage from sysv, and other things

Runit and s6 take from the daemontools style init which works quite well, runit is exceptionally simple and s6 covers many cases while still being minimal so much so that some distros ship s6 utilities with openrc initscripys
