systemd(ont)

Because of the ubiquity, nay, monopoly of _systemd_ I always assumed it was miles ahead of other init systems. Nope. I've been using a non-systemd …

for script in $(find /etc/init/start); do exec $script & done sleep

Undoubtedly the best init system that exists. No fluff, just starts services.

Why do you need services at all? Just start each program when you need it. Shell is bloat.
Or just set init=/bin/sh.
Yeah but lacks some functionality. I prefer /bin/emacs so I can edit text as well as run commands. EXWM is bloat.
