I give up on Parabola. No way to get it to work with OpenRC without a shit ton of bugs. No way to get it to work with a display manager, and it's just been 4 days straight of frustrations. Not even Arch was this hard.
Anyways, what's an easier/stable OS without systemdick? Which one should I install on my librebooted X200?
>Devuan >Void linux >Slackware Any others? I heard that Devuan is unstable and the main developer of Void got taken hostage by the CIA or something. I don't know about slackware though, just seems like it might be another barrel of frustrations like Parabola.
>No way to get it to work with OpenRC without a shit ton of bugs Such as? >No way to get it to work with a display manager Laughable bait. There is a wiki with a nice step-by-step guide. They even have little install scripts for dummies like you. Maybe try to read them for a bit if you're so bootyblasted.
>GuixSD >SysVinit'd Debian >Any BSD >Gentoo >PCLinuxOS (This one's trivial to install) >Puppy Linux >MX Linux Take your pick OP, if you don't want any headaches I'd say go with PCLinuxOS, it's trivial to install.

I used Void during one year, it just werks but some services are not available by default so you must either create them manually or use start them with a homemade script. When i decided to switch for Parabola the OpenRC iso was brocken with x so i just switched to the systemD version and it works perfectly, same boot time and services are easy to activate compared to runit (void) where many services are missing (syncthing for example).

PCLinuxOS. However, the dev will die very soon so I'm not sure it'll be viable in future.

I've got Parabola OpenRC on one of my machines, but I can confirm it was a pain. I think their minimal installer is literally broken and you have to use the xfce one or whatever.
GuixSD is pretty good, but it does a lot of things in a new way so prepare to read some documentation or ask for help in IRC.

Use SystemD. SystemD is a good thing. You like SystemD.
