People are asking me why I use runit and why I don't like systemd.

What I answer them? Nothing. I wait for the next systemd thing to wipe their $HOME and get some popcorn, only for them to pop up again weeks later and preach how superior their init system is.

Meanwhile I am using runit for 7+ years and not once had an issue with it breaking my setup.

But I guess it's uncool to have a working system. :shrug:

@Anachron but can runit be a barely functioning nameserver, barely functioning log system, a barely functioning cron replacement? CHECKMATE!

:P

@bonifartius

well, you got some great points there 😮

I have to install so many packages when I want all of these features!

And even then I need to decide which one to use, why? Why can the system not force me to use one so I can let go of all these decisions?

So many questions. I guess runit really is not for everybody.
