Are there any comparisons of init systems that focus daily use metrics? Stuff like what writing scripts looks like and boot times and logging capabilities? (And any other use cases that are common)

    Even systemd-less distros need to implement ‘fake’ systemd components. It’s like a cancer. No one’s voluntarily using sub-components of systemd without systemd. It is a monolithic thing.

      You can dislike systemd, its6okay. But there’s no need to be stupid about it.

      Yes - things built to work with systemd… require systemd to work.

      But you don’t need to use all the systemd services. You can use other tools. Because systemd is not a monolith.

      How does systemd dare to provide useful functionality? It should be just as useless as all the other inits that nobody ever felt the need to depend on, simply because they do nothing interesting.

      You can just build a way more functional and secure system with all the cool features systemd provides.

        Most of its functionality is just reimplementing things that already existed, with an incompatible interface.
