So after some advice here I've decided to give Artix a chance.
Which non-systemd solution should I use: runnit or openrc?
Runnit or openrc?
Colton Ward
Daniel Anderson
sysvinit
Brayden Reyes
i'd rather use systemd

honestly I like OpenRC, but to be fair both are solid, consider that your boot will be slower but your memory footprint will also be lower
Brody Rodriguez
Systemd is free as in freedom
Jaxon Gray
OpenRC is better imho.
Oliver Gonzalez
I want reliability, bonus points if it self-heals on any kind of failure
Sebastian Allen
sysvinit is the most reliable init by far
Asher Thomas
sysvinit isn't a choice on Artix

In my own experience (or lack thereof) i've heard runit is by far the fastest booting.

lol
gotta out-flex somehow
Carson Gomez
Runit > sysvinit > systemd > openrc
Austin Wright
weird flex, but okay
Cameron Butler

why

>weird flex
bruh this is Jow Forums, having the best distro is a core flex
Oliver Brown
use alpine

I do in my Docker containers :)
but that's it
Owen Campbell
honest question
what the fuck is a docker
Jaxon Barnes
LXC containers.
They run the same everywhere, so developers can use them to build locally and deploy to a different underlying OS.
It's follows the "Infrastructure as Code" mantra that many system/devops engineering organizations are adopting. You have a "Dockerfile" for the project, which is versioned and repeatable.

runit is lightning fast, careful about "everything is a file" philosophy, and dom enough to force a safe shutdown any time I tap the power button - I'd have to completely fuck a runtime for that not to work. So yeah, long live runit
Tyler Lewis
sounds like bloat
Grayson Thomas
it's not as fast as bare metal, but there's a tradeoff like all virtualization.
Docker containers can be extremely minimal (from scratch), only containing a staticly linked binary. I'm talking tiny.
Bloat isn't too big of a concern. It's nice to be able to make a container and know it'll run the same on any host.

whats the point of dockers?

infrastructure as code
automation
Nathan Young
which os you use right now?
Eli Adams
Debian.

Friendly reminder runit and openrc are not init daemons but service managers. They do include an optional init daemon recently tho
Check github.com

Luke Gonzalez
actually, runit is an init. Only OpenRC requires a separate init daemon.
