systemd lost the plot a long time ago. they stopped following the Unix philosophy and now they're busy adding nonsense like age verification. Just like Firefox, systemd doesn't understand its core user base. There are plenty of distros without systemd
@nixCraft There’s little wrong with openRC, I don’t get the hate. Every system I have and there’s about 30 of them, run openrc. Except one. These are hypervisors, firewall/routers, vms and servers. I put systemd on the desktop variant only because.. and there’s really no reason for it other than curiosity. My laptop runs openrc and it’s problem free.
@siim @nixCraft #lazyweb question: does OpenRC use declared dependencies between services, so things automatically start in the right order?
@oclsc @nixCraft yes you can declare dependencies and yes they do start in order. However now that you mentioned it I did have one issue. But ai dont know if systemd would’ve faired better here and that is. A case of a PCI device enumerating too long. On one of my firewalls I have 2 X520 adapters and the second one takes long to ā€œbootā€. OpenRC is so fast in coming up that the startup scripts that configure its interfaces time out before the device appears for userspace..
