Its a learning curve for sure, I’m still learning it myself. Openrc seemed to be fairly popular, so thats why I started with that.
There is a few changes such as not using service files and instead using crob jobs, seeing the logs of your tasks need to be hooked into using syslog-ng to consolidate the logs. I’m still learning how you see stuff like the service status etc.
Its been fun learning something new again, and writing a script like this to set it all up for me has been a great way to learn it all.

Btw, s6 (runit too?) supports user services and for dinit exists turnstile.

Well then, that sounds great, because I love tinkering and learning new stuff. :) I do recall using some minor distro - perhaps antiX - a long time ago to save a broken laptop. I did do `init [some number between 0-5]` to manipulate the system's power state, I think. That's my experience with it haha.
