Honestly, I’m starting to appreciate the “Just works” mentality a little more as I start to shy away from ricing. I’m going to stick with non-systemd distributions, but my DE will likely be cinnamon next, since it’s easy to use and I don’t care about making it look pretty.
I feel Void + a simple DE is an amazing combination for people who want to get work done without paying too much of attention to the OS, except the part of the OS they are using actively (tooling + applications)
Why non-systemd distros? I have heard of not-systemd distros like Artix and Devaun (I think that’s how you spell them), but I never bothered looking into why some people prefer them.
Systemd is easier but also slower, it dose a lot more than just a init system and many dislike that. I have used both and it’s cool to see E.g. PostmarketOS boot but systemd works really well nowdays too and the actual backlash is mostly from it’s early days.
It’s philosophical: I want an init system, not a gargantuan binary blob that does who knows what and apparently removing it breaks completely unrelated parts of my system just because this little shit seems to have a hand in its operation

I don’t get it.
Because SystemD seems to be intertwined in the workings of many, seemingly unrelated components, especially since it was supposed to be an init system
Boots up fast tho.
Don’t know why I should care about what happens at boot up other than how long it takes.
As I said, it’s philosophical. Most people don’t need to care since it works. I care because I hate systemd and like simplicity
Oh I thought you were talking about a person lol
I use void now with xfce and i3. But I’ll be honest. I still like Ricing.
