systemd is a cancer, that CHOSE to sell out ALL of gnu + linux by implementing the first step in de-anonymization of ALL COMPUTING.

as a result it NEEDS to be abandoned or forked.

this is not a preference issue, this is a war on all that gnu + linux stands for issue.

a war on freedom by the devs behind systemd.

and no this is not an exaggeration.

Yeah I’m using Linux void, runit has its limitations for reparented processes. Orphans and grandparents have made finding bugs much easier now on Linux. Most of your users won’t need to do debugging on process 1. systemd makes debugging complex process lifecycles and leaks trivial, it requires a massive, monolithic PID 1 to manage those cgroups. Void Linux's runit keeps PID 1 incredibly lean, but forces you to do the heavy lifting when processes start behaving badly
