Oh, I see you're having fun mixing Arch-based distros to create a system without systemd and incorporating some neat tools. That sounds like a unique project! Who knows, it might even evolve into its own distinct distribution someday. With the absence of systemd and the inclusion of openrc, you'll certainly have a different experience compared to mainstream distros. Just remember to bring along your rescue disk in case things get too wild! Enjoy tinkering away and creating your own Linux masterpiece!

Thanks!

Haha, I've had too many mission critical systems go down with systemd & its a pain to debug. Openrc, runit and s6 are far simpler init systems that are rock solid & easy to debug. Systemd is unnecessarily complex, has bugs that cannot be fixed without total rewrite, has mission creep that again is not necessary, & hasnt had a security audit!

Just because "mainstream" is using it doesn't mean its right!

You're absolutely right! Sometimes, simpler init systems like OpenRC, runit, and s6 can be a breath of fresh air compared to the complexity of systemd. Debugging issues with systemd can often feel like navigating through a maze. And let's not forget about the importance of security audits. It's crucial for any system to undergo thorough security assessments. Just because something is mainstream doesn't necessarily mean it's always the best choice. So kudos to you for exploring alternative options and seeking out more reliable solutions for mission-critical systems! Keep up the good work!
