Yeah OpenRC is pretty great and much lighter than systemd. It's way better than sysvinit. Less daemons running than systemd and it doesn't try to be more than just an init system. I use alpine on all my servers for this reason. And because it's so minimalistic as a distribution, I can just install what I need and nothing else at all. On a desktop system with the OS being suspended, USB devices coming and going systemd makes more sense I think. But on the desktop I use FreeBSD which has a different system again. By the way alpine is also working on a full service manager init system (like systemd) but more minimalistic, based on s6 service manager. Looking forward to seeing how that pans out. https://skarnet.com/projects/service-manager.html https://skarnet.com/projects/service-manager.html When something comes from the alpine team I have a much higher confidence that I'll like it than from RedHat :) I don't care for Gnome either as it has become so opinionated.
