Take a look at S6 and dinit. They both embody what systemd was intended to be while keeping the portability, technical simplicity and loose coupling.
You might also want to consider Void and Chimera. Void has a unique combination of technical simplicity, functionality, rolling updates and low maintenance along with some beefy repos. It's close to being the perfect desktop Linux to me.
Chimera uses dinit, which is closer to systemd's features, whereas Void uses runit, with is more of a minimal viable init + rc.
- MrDrMcCoy 2y agoThey are very interesting for sure, but I'm waiting for the S6 successor that's in development before I switch from systemd. There are a number of things systemd offers that are either easier, better, or unavailable in other tools that keep me happy for now. If the successor ends up being good but still missing those features, I'll try my hand at implementing them for the greater good.
