Because of the ubiquity, nay, monopoly of systemd I always assumed it was miles ahead of other init systems. Nope. I’ve been using a non-systemd environment for a while and must say I’m surprised by how little breaks, i.e., next to nothing. Moreover, boot and shutdown times are faster. I’d suggest trying it out.


for script in $(find /etc/init/start); do exec $script & done sleepUndoubtedly the best init system that exists. No fluff, just starts services.
I mean… thats kinda what runit does.
Why do you need services at all? Just start each program when you need it. Shell is bloat.
Or just set
init=/bin/sh.Yeah but lacks some functionality. I prefer
/bin/emacsso I can edit text as well as run commands. EXWM is bloat.SysV wants to have a word.
You only need programs if you’re unhappy with the current state of your life. Delete computer, become enlightened.
