> people can work on letting Debian run fine without systemd Arch switched to systemd about a year ago. When official distro packages are shipping with systemd service files by default, it means there is drastically less effort required on your part to maintain a systemd-based environment. It would take an experienced and dedicated crew to translate the systemd service files of dozens of upstream packages to Runit for instance. The enterprise level support just isn't there, whereas with systemd it is. That being said, I like writing systemd service files. I just wonder what would happen if more distros pushed for, e.g. uselessd or Runit as the standard init system. > uselessd (the useless daemon, or the daemon that uses less... depending on your viewpoint) is a project to reduce systemd to a base initd, process supervisor and transactional dependency system, while minimizing intrusiveness and isolationism. Basically, it’s systemd with the superfluous stuff cut out, a (relatively) coherent idea of what it wants to be, support for non-glibc platforms and an approach that aims to minimize complicated design. http://uselessd.darknedgy.net http://uselessd.darknedgy.net
