Monkeying with computers since 1984, Linux user since 1994. Free/Libre Open Source Software, data sovereignty & privacy advocate. I've seen some things; is there such a thing as computer related PTSD? Transitioning to "just a user". Linux distros I'm "into" lately: * Alpine Linux: https://alpinelinux.org * Debian Linux: https://debian.org * Casuarina Linux: https://casuarina.org My automotive half can be found at https://weird.autos/@fxworks Boosts / Shares ≠ Endorsement. #nobot #noindex

I guess since the whole "Flatpak creating a dependency on systemd" bullshit has surfaced this week there has been some other conversations about systemd going on throughout the Fediverse.
I've seen some oblique references to Debian making an effort to make OpenRC more viable as an alternate init system. That's about all I've gathered on my hit-n-run timeline surfing the last several days. Not sure if this is an official Debian project or just someone's wish list.
Anyone have the skinny? Links to actual discussions?

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.
