Peppermint OS, one of the most lightweight and flexible Linux distros, is now offering a Devuan-based ISO for advanced users to have more control over their system.

To me it’s not about
systemdbeing bad, just a case of it being hella complicated if compared to something likerunit. Its reach is so huge it’s overwhelming for my poor brain to grasp.It’s not you, it’s me kind of a deal haha
What do you mean? Source code? Usage?
Usage.
Been a while since I last messed with it and my Linux skills (damn that sounds corny) have improved over the years. But when I used to drive a systemd distro there would be some service that would stall and I just could not make it work as intended, remembering my frustrations.
I currently have some 2 user services for GUI apps always failing even though I added the graphical dependency services. Dependencies are prob the issue, and/or some issue NixOS config -> systemd.
How has been your runit experience in comparison? s6 looks interesting
It’s dumb, rather silly in comparison and it does nothing other than keeping services going - on Void Linux you symlink your services from /etc/sv/{service-name} to /var/services/ and there it goes off doing its thing.

Systemd could probably provide some fancy features on my system but it’s a simple procrastination-station and so far I’ve not come up with anything I’m missing. Very happy camper.
(Lemmy is acting up for me)
Seems pretty minimal and straightforward; nice. Are on GNU libc or musl?

Did musl for a while, got tired of incompatibilities, have been running glibc for years now :)
