Runit seems interesting. Feel free to expand regarding it’s benefits compared to systemd! The main selling point seems to to be less complexity. Are there any drawbacks/gotchas one should be aware of?

Runit doesn't use control groups - I suppose so it can work on non-Linux OSes. systemd being Linux-specific does. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cgroups https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cgroups

  Good point.

There really aren't any drawbacks. There are a few distros that use it. If you want to play with it, I'd really highly recommend spinning up a Void VM.

  Cool! Sounds like a great way to test it.
