What distro are you running?
- seemaze 2y agoI gave up systemd for openRC on Alpine. Much better suited to my own needs, and uptime is vastly improved.
- kennysoona 2y agoIt really is a world of difference. I think the only people really championing systemd are those that found writing scripts and futzing around too complicated. They wanted open-source Windows and they got it.
- kennysoona 2y agoAlpine. It's wonderful. I've always liked minimal distros, and Alpine actively facilitates that. It doesn't get in the way, has everything needed to run a modern desktop, and the focus on security and musl compatibility are huge pluses.
- egorfine 2y agoDon't worry, it's not for long. They are eyeing systemd port, too.
- kennysoona 2y agoNo they are not. Systemd is very incompatible with what Alpine is trying to and succeeding at doing. PostmarketOS which is based on Alpine switched to systemd, but I've seen nothing indicating Alpine is interested in doing so.
- egorfine 2y agoI have read somewhere that some kind of port is being discussed, perhaps at Phoronix, but I cannot find it now. Maybe I have confused something, so I stand corrected. systemd is indeed totally incompatible with musl libc.
- kennysoona 2y ago> systemd is indeed totally incompatible with musl libc. It's more that it is incompatible with being small, lean and secure.
