Chroot is my Init system.
@nixCraft I have nothing against systemd as an init system. I have *many* problems with freedesktop consuming the entirety of the system service space.
@myzanilred @nixCraft what do u mean by "system service space"?

@rugk @nixCraft The user-space system services that are required to provide a useful running system. Things like logging and auditing, login services, network management, the system message bus, etc.

I said "space" in terms of the "Linux software development space". It wasn't a technical term.

@nixCraft GNU Shepherd fans when nobody even mentions them
@nixCraft early 20th C crowds who yelled "get a horse" at traffic
@nixCraft Hot take but I actually don't mind systemd at this point.
@ed209
I would go so far as to say I really like systemd. Especially the drop-in file setup and auto mount dependencies.
@nixCraft
@nixCraft I love chadbian and I use it without systemd yay, original debian and arch can run without systemd :3
@nixCraft It works for me. Actually, it works for most people.
@nixCraft
All the diehard systemd haters are a little boring these days. Unit files are so much more readable than ridiculous bash init scripts and much more maintainable.
@jared @nixCraft and you get sandboxing features for free!
@nixCraft a constructive approach to someone who isn’t invested in a solution complaining about an open source project they don’t really care about that much. I love it.
@nixCraft I tried Void Linux recently and was pleasantly surprised by the speed and leanness of runit (and Void's package system, as well). The main problem with avoiding systemd is that "everybody uses it". Resistance, as the comic suggests, is rather futile. Even if you hate it, you have to know it.
@nixCraft
Devuan is a great distro, it offer an alternative to systemd, no matter if systemd is bad or not, its always good to have an alternative.
Good luck devuan !
@nixCraft I mean, systemd really does suck. It was the worst thing to happen to Linux.
Who is that outsider
