Will artix ever support sinit?

Look, OpenRC is the evolution of the old init systems. It’s extremely well tested and well-known. It is not bad, by any stretch of the meaning, but it has architectural problems that are too difficult to solve without rewriting.

I would argue that It is bad ._.

Runit is minimalist. It is extremely simple, and as a result easy to both maintain, and deploy, but you have to work around a few non-features to get parity with SystemD

It takes significantly longer to turn on, on alpine then artix on runit

S6 fits into this picture differently. It gives itself a bit more complexity budget and does a lot more with it.

What’s even more problematic, the complexity is user-facing. You know that you have to compile the “services”.

s6-db-reload, profit

Yeah

So on a general purpose basis, s6 is the one that offers noticeable benefits: relability, stability, code safety and the obvious boot time reduction.

Runit can do that too, if it gets a bit more love.

I have a problem. I have an hp laserjet professional p1102 printer. And I can run it only with a proprietary plugin. Of course, it’s silly to talk about free software when you have a proprietary bios, the distribution is not completely free. But is it still possible to run the printer without a proprietary plugin?

but writing s6 services are just as easy as runit, you can use bash syntax for run scripts

Yes, but there are subtle differences.

Runit is relatively better documented.

dependencies.d, type file, that’s all

every file in the service dir is documented for s6

artix linux 6.0 when

see the difference.

Nope

why

sinit isn’t capable of doing everything needed. It’s not complete enough for production.

So unless that changes, it’s impossible to use in Artix.

That doesn’t mean you can’t experiment with it though, it might work for your specific needs, but it won’t work for everyone’s usage.

And yet you don’t know that you can’t have 2 network stacks running at the same time… 🤦🏻‍♂

oh my god..

This is why I say that flatpaks and snaps suck and are not the future of packaging.

i forgot i have a wine prefix in there lol

Still too much.

8g is fine

at least no 50 i mean

they suck indeed but they are trying to make it future. gnome, fedora, redhat all want that kind of horrible future
their fedora silverblue spooky
