I’m long past the age where I try things out just for the sake of it. For me, a tool has to solve an actual problem. Runit fails that test immediately because its dependency management is too weak. Dinit looks like a better fit, but I don’t need it, because my current system works perfectly with systemd, and I have no interest in doing by hand what the distro maintainer already took care of for me.

that’s fine, systemd is my current one too, it’s great w/ NixOS tooling, it’s just kind of unfair to handle systemd criticism by talking solely of its phased alternatives, makes the discussion seem like systemd is the only possible option
