  What should someone google in order to find out more about this? (i tried, i got lots of information about the samsung phone, even with -samsung and various incantations of 'init', 'processes', 'linux', etc)

    I think the OP meant s6 and not s9. runit, s6 and also nosh are all daemontool-style init systems, which have a somewhat different idea how to do things than systemd all, but all are inspired by the original daemontools package. s6 and nosh have decent overviews: https://skarnet.org/software/s6/ https://skarnet.org/software/s6/ https://jdebp.eu/Softwares/nosh/guide/introduction.html https://jdebp.eu/Softwares/nosh/guide/introduction.html The original daemontools: https://cr.yp.to/daemontools/faq/create.html#why https://cr.yp.to/daemontools/faq/create.html#why I'll let others decide whether these are better or worse than systemd. I go with whatever my distro would give me, since picking a different init system is too much work...
