Here's a good article that I saw on HN a few months ago: https://blog.darknedgy.net/technology/2020/05/02/0/index.htm...

Also: https://suckless.org/sucks/systemd/

Personally I avoided it for a while because of the hate, but haven't really had issues with it since using it.

Ditto. my personal experience with systemd has been "wow, it's easier than ever to write an init script that runs when it's needed".

Looking at the components that make up a modern UNIX system, it's definitely time to think "how can we make a new operating system, evolved from UNIX, but with a more coherent core running the majority of run time orchestration".

Similar opinion here. I put it off for when I could learn it better, and so far it's been fine... sometimes nice too when it has a feature I want that's already built-in (depending on version level and all that).

Thanks for the share from suckless.org. I'm interested to learn about init now :)
