OpenRC gang
Just joined the openrc gang for good today
Gentoo?
Nah, artix. Although I did try gentoo out a while back on a spare laptop, I enjoyed it!
Nice, another OpenRC distro I really like and have been daily-driving is Alpine Linux Damn thing is so snappy
I keep meaning to try that at some point
Not everyone approves of it, not everyone likes it, and if you do have a Nvidia GPU, you might want to skip Alpine
But it is a good distro, small to the point you can easily memorize every part of the system and how things click together
OpenRC in it, as everything else, does the bare basic. RC only runs and manages your services and that's it. It doesn't try to be your DNS provider, it doesn't try to be your logs manager, it only deals with the services(which are bash scripts btw), and that's it
I rock Alpine with XFCE4 and Pipewire, and its the most usable distro I've ever had There is also GNOME and KDE, but haven't tried them
Only main issue with it, is that it uses MUSL instead of GlibC which, makes some softwares not work or must be compiled from source
I'll have to try it out then, thanks
OpenRC > Runit > S6 >>>>>>>>>> SystemD
I'm now using s6, which is great because nobody is using it so the best documentation is some random github page for running daemons with nix using various init programs.
Fixed
Y u s
On systemd.. first i am hearing about this. Am I in danger?
I guess it's that the versions aren't in ${major}.${minor}.${patch} format, but just a continuous number. But who tf cares, it's human readable and any competent version comparing tool (eg. pacman's vercmp, I use arch btw) should handle it fine, considering they also need to handle git's much more annoying commit version thingy.
There absolutely are minor versions, but no patch releases. E.g. https://github.com/systemd/systemd/releases/tag/v256.9 which includes no new functionalities, as these are limited to major releases
What happened?
Nothing I can find. The latest release has a "breaking changes" section but that is nothing unusual. All software has breaking changes from time to time and should be addressed by your distro maintainers.
Thank you kind stranger 🌺
Same. I'm on Debian tho so I've got ~6 months until it affects me :D
...about what?
Well it's a new systemd release so probably.
*shepherd
systemd or openrc. Others suck
Openrc is kind of painful. I would go normal busybox init over openrc.
busybox init barely starts anything
It just is shell scripts
